Anaheim Ducks News

The Ducks will turn to Dostal on Tuesday after John Gibson got the starting nod in each of the team's previous two games. Dostal relieved Gibson in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers after the latter was forced to leave the game with a lower-body injury. Dostal did pick up the win in his last start, allowing just two goals on 37 shots as the Ducks edged the Wild 3-2. He draws a a decent matchup on Tuesday with the Ducks having even odds to pick up the win in Montreal.

Killorn has missed the last seven games with a knee injury and is progressing toward returning to the Ducks' lineup. In his first season with the Ducks, Killorn has 19 points (6G / 13A) in 34 games, his lowest point-per-game pace in six seasons.

With Carson Soucy (hand) being placed on IR, Vancouver recalled Woo from Abbotsford (AHL). Woo was the 37th overall pick of the Canucks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has yet to play a game at the NHL level. The 23-year-old defender has 16 points (5G / 11A) in 42 games with Abbotsford.

Killorn has missed the last six games with a knee injury and is progressing toward returning to the Ducks' lineup over the next couple of weeks. In his first season with the Ducks, Killorn has 19 points (6G / 13A) in 34 games, his lowest point-per-game pace in six seasons.

Mintyukov has been out of the lineup since January 9th, missing 10 games with a shoulder injury, but appears to be nearing a return. The rookie defender was enjoying an impressive first season in the NHL, registering 19 points (2G / 17A), 56 hits, and 43 blocks in 40 games.

Brossoit will tend the twine on Thursday in an attempt to snap a four-game losing streak for the Jets. Brossoit has been sensational when called upon this season, highlighted by a multi-week stretch where he has posted a 4-0-1 record, allowing fewer than three goals in each contest and posting a dazzling .951 SV%. The Jets look poised to get back into the win column as -136 road favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers club that snapped a five-game losing skid in their last outing.

Husso wasn't scheduled to start on Wednesday but will be out of the lineup entirely after coming down with an illness. Husso has not played a game since returning to the lineup last week and will likely continue to be a secondary option between the pipes as long as Alex Lyon continues to give the Red Wings solid goaltending regularly.

The Flyers completed their second signing of the day Friday as they extended 25-year-old centre Ryan Poehling for two-years, and $3.8 million ($1,900,000 AAV). The fourth year pro is having a career year in his first season in Philadelphia with five goals, nine assists, 55 SOG, six PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 44 games played.

Greer suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, exiting the game after playing only 5:34 time-on-ice. Greer has 10 points (6G / 4A) in 47 games this season while most recently playing on a line with Cole Schwindt and Adam Klapka.

Husso has not played since December 18th, when he suffered a lower-body injury, and, as a result, has been loaned to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL for a conditioning stint before returning to the Red Wings. Husso, sporting a 3.53 GAA and .893 SV% through 18 games (9-5-2-), will likely serve as the backup to Alex Lyon upon his return.

After serving as the backup for four straight games (2-2-0), Brossoit will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Brossoit has been tremendous between the pipes for the Jets lately, allowing two or fewer goals in six straight (5-1-0), boasting a dazzling .952 SV%.

Dostal allowed five goals on 41 shots in the Ducks’ loss in Tampa last Saturday. John Gibson has started the last three games but Dostal will make his 18th appearance tonight vs. the Rangers. Dostal has played much better in Anaheim this season, posting a 2.99 GAA and .918 SV% in seven games, however it’s led to just two wins.
