Dostal was 4-10-3 with a .901 SV% and 3.78 GAA across 17 starts in 2022-23 with Anaheim and has signed a two-year, contract extension worth $1.625 million ($812,500 AAV). The 23-year-old netminder is one of the NHL's best goaltending prospects and has a 5-12-3 record across 23 games in his career and has a 3.65 GAA and .902 SV%.
Gudas spent the last three seasons in Florida, where he had some of the best seasons of his career. He doesn't offer a lot offensively, posting just 44 points (7G / 37A) in 203 games, but he's a tough, rugged defenseman that led all defensemen in hits (917) during his three years with the Panthers. Not only did he have the most hits, he had 227 more hits than second (Luke Schenn).
Killorn played the first 11 years of his career with the Lightning, winning two Stanley Cups and tallying 466 points (198G / 268A) across 805 regular season games. He's coming off of a career-year in 2023, scoring 27 goals with 37 assists (64 points), all career-bests for the 33-year-old. In Anaheim he'll factor into their middle-6 and should skate on a line with either Trevor Zegras or Mason McTavish, while also seeing some power-play deployment.
Sustr had three goals, 11 assists, 41 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 51 games with both the Iowa Wild (AHL) and San Diego Gulls (AHL) in 2022-23 and has been traded to San Jose for Andrew Agozzino. The 32-year-old defenseman last played in the NHL in 2021-22, picking up five assists in 23 games with Anaheim.
Gudas left Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final after taking a massive hit from Ivan Barbashev which caused him to leave the game after just 2:11 TOI but is expected back in the Panthers' lineup for Game 3 on Thursday vs. Vegas. The 33-year-old has three assists, 30 PIMs and 13 SOG through 18 games throughout the playoffs thus far.
Helleson had a goal, four SOG, and two PIMs through three games with Anaheim but has been reassigned to San Diego (AHL) for the remainder of their season. The 22-year-old returns to San Deigo (AHL), where he had five goals, 13 assists, 50 PIMs and a -18 plus/minus through 63 games earlier this season.
McTavish left the Ducks' previous game after just 8:09 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will not be forced to miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season as he is out week-to-week. The 20-year-old puts the cap on a strong rookie season, where he picked up 17 goals, 26 assists, 161 SOG, 44 PIMs and a -19 plus/minus through 80 games this season.
LaCombe had nine goals, 26 assists, 13 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 37 games with the University of Minnesota (NCAA) and will make his NHL debut with the Ducks Tuesday. The 22-year-old was Anaheim's 2019 second-round pick (39th overall).
Nesterenko missed the Ducks' previous game vs. Colorado due to an illness but will be back in the lineup Tuesday as they take on Vancouver. The 21-year-old has a goal, 16 SOG, and a -3 plus/minus through seven games this season prior to his illness.
Dostal allowed five goals on 46 shots (.891 SV%) for his fifth-straight loss as he was beaten in overtime by the Colorado Avalanche in his last start. The 22-year-old has struggled alongside the weak surrounding roster, with his 4-9-3 record, 3.82 GAA and .900 SV%. He will take on the Vancouver Canucks, who have lost five of their last seven games after a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles Monday.
Stalock allowed two goals on 28 shots (.929 SV%) for his sixth-straight loss as he was defeated by the Vancouver Canucks in his previous start. The 35-year-old has been one of the year's best stories after missing last season, with his 9-14-1 record, 2.92 GAA and .912 SV%. He takes on the Minnesota Wild, who snapped a three-game losing skid with a 4-3 win over St. Louis last game.
Stalock allowed five goals on 39 shots (.872 SV%) for his fifth-straight loss as he was handed the defeat by the New Jersey Devils in his last start.
