Terry has been sidelined for a week because of an upper-body injury, but he could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 28-year-old Terry is having an excellent season, with 42 points (13G / 29A) in 43 games. He had seven points (3G / 4A) in his last five games before his injury.
The Ducks have regularly received horrendous goaltending in recent weeks and will hope Dostal can return to his early-season form on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old Dostal began the season with a respectable 2.82 GAA and .904 SV% in his first 17 games (11-5-1), which has been followed up by a 3.34 GAA and .855 SV% in his last 12 (2-9-1). The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as +107 home underdogs against a Stars team that defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 last night, giving them points in three straight games (2-0-1).
Carlsson did not finish practice on Monday, and it is unclear whether his ailment will affect his status for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars. The 21-year-old Carlsson is having an excellent season for Anaheim, with 44 points (18G / 26A) in 44 games, but has drifted off in recent weeks as the Ducks have struggled, being held off the scoresheet in nine of the team's last 11 games.
Lukas Dostal will get a rare night off on Thursday, clearing the way for Husso to make his first start of 2026. Husso's last start came way back on December 16th, when he was tagged for four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss in Columbus. The 30-year-old netminder carries a 5-3-1 record and an .884 SV% into Thursday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action as heavy underdogs at +185 on the money line.
Terry is coming off a two assist performance and has been on fire lately, but will not play on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old forward is pacing for a career best, with 42 points (13G / 29A) through 43 games. He has seven points (3G / 4A) in his last five games.
Washe made his NHL debut last season after playing five seasons collegiately with Western Michigan University. The undrafted 24-year-old forward has spent the entirety of this season with the San Diego Gulls (AHL), where he has 25 points (13G / 12A) in 30 games.
After a rare night off on Monday, Dostal will be back between the pipes for the Ducks when they travel to Philadelphia on Tuesday. Dostal lost his fourth consecutive start in his last outing, allowing five goals on 34 shots in a 5-2 loss to Minnesota on Friday. The 25-year-old netminder brings a 13-10-2 record and an .887 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action at +125 on the money line.
Mrazek played last night, allowing five goals on 24 shots (.792 SV%) in a 7-4 loss to the Washington Capitals, exiting the game in the second intermission because of an undisclosed injury. The Ducks recalled Ville Husso from San Diego (AHL) in a corresponding move.
The Ducks have allowed four or more goals in nine of their last 12 games (2-7-3) and, with Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) dealing with an injury, could be looking to shake things up between the pipes after recalling Husso from San Diego (AHL). The 30-year-old Husso had a 3.25 GAA and .884 SV% in a nine-game stint (5-3-1) with the Ducks earlier this season.
Harkins will take a seat on Monday as Ryan Strome draws back into the lineup. Harkins has three goals and zero assists in 19 games this season.
Strome will make his first appearance of the New Year after serving as a healthy scratch in each of Anaheim's last two games. Strome has appeared in 21 games this season, logging two goals and four assists.
Lukas Dostal has struggled lately, and the Ducks will hope for a better result with Petr Mrazek tending the twine on Monday against the Washington Capitals. Unfortunately for the Ducks, Mrazek's play has not been encouraging this season. The 33-year-old Mrazek has an ugly 3.78 GAA and .865 SV% in nine appearances this season (3-4-0), and he has been even worse lately, posting a .789 SV% in his last three appearances (0-3-0). The Ducks enter Monday's contest as +122 road underdogs against a Capitals team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).
Dostal's recent struggles for the Ducks continue, losing five of six (1-4-1) while posting an ugly 3.83 GAA and .810 SV%. The 25-year-old Czech goalie was having a solid season before that, with a 2.72 GAA and .905 SV% in his first 19 games. He hopes to return to his early-season form on Friday, tending the twine against a Minnesota Wild team with points in four straight (2-0-2). The Ducks enter Friday's contest as +114 home underdogs.
With Radko Gudas (illness) returning to Anaheim's blueline, Helleson will be the odd-man out of the lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Wild. The 24-year-old Helleson is averaging 18:12 time-on-ice and has nine points (2G / 7A) in 36 games this season.
Gudas missed Anaheim's previous two games due to an illness, but will draw back into the lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Wild. The 35-year-old Czech defenseman has eight points (1G / 7A), 49 blocks, and 94 hits in 27 games this season.
