The Ducks, losers of three straight, enter action as sizeable +245 road underdogs against the Minnesota Wild.

McTavish (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play against the Stars on Friday.

The Ducks avoided a potentially devastating loss as McTavish did not suffer any broken bones after suffering a lower-body injury in a 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils on March 1st. McTavish has missed two straight games but will return to the lineup on Friday against the Dallas Stars. Before his injury, McTavish had nine points (4G / 5A) in his last eight games.

Terry (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play against the Stars on Friday.

Terry played two games after returning from an injury, tallying one point (0G / 1A), but returned to the sidelines on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. The Ducks, now without Adam Henrique (trade) will be happy to have Terry back in the lineup.

Terry (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Friday vs. Dallas.

Terry played two games after returning from an injury, tallying one point (0G / 1A), but returned to the sidelines on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. The Ducks, now without Adam Henrique (trade), and possibly Mason McTavish (lower-body), will be hard-pressed to find offence if Terry is unable to suit up.

Terry (upper body) is out on Wednesday vs. Ottawa.

Terry played the last two games after returning from an injury, tallying one point (0G / 1A), but will return to the sidelines on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. The Ducks will likely be hard-pressed to find offence on Wednesday night as they will also be without Adam Henrique, who was traded to the Edmonton Oilers earlier in the day.

Dostal will start on Wednesday vs. Ottawa.

Dostal has started two of the last three games and will return to the crease on Wednesday night. The Czech netminder has faced a heavy workload over his last two outings (1-1-0) and responded admirably, saving 81 of 86 shots .942 SV%. The Ducks, who traded Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, are +168 home underdogs against the Ottawa Senators.
