Vatrano has had a down year in Florida, scoring just 10 goals with nine assists (19 points) in 49 games. Vatrano has scored at a 23 goals per 82 game pace in his first three seasons with the team but is on a 17-goal pace this season. Vatrano should see more important ice time in New York than her did in Florida this year.

Helleson was acquired from the Avalanche in the Josh Manson trade on Monday and signed with the Ducks on Tuesday. Helleson, who has 25 points (4G / 21A) in 32 games at Boston College this season, is expected to play in the AHL after the college season is over.

Helleson was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and is coming off of a great season at Boston College, scoring four goals with 21 assists (25 points) in 32 games.

Lundestrom missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but travelled to New Jersey and is expected to play Saturday. Lundestrom will likely replace Danny O'Regan in the lineup.

Zegras missed Thursday's game in Nashville but is expected to replace Sam Steel in the lineup on Saturday. Zegras has played very well as of late, scoring four goals with six assists (10 points) in his last nine games.

Silfverberg suffered an undisclosed injury in Chicago on Tuesday and will miss at least one week after being placed on IR on Thursday. The move was made to clear space on the roster for the Ducks to recall Vinni Lettieri, Buddy Robinson and Danny O'Regan.

Lundestrom suffered a lower-body injury early in Sunday's game vs. the Sharks and will not play Tuesday in Chicago. The fact that he did not travel to start the road trip, suggests that Lundestrom will miss at least the next five games. The Ducks will likely go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen with Lundestrom out.

Sustr signed with the Ducks in 2018, appearing in five games with the Ducks and 39 games with San Diego (AHL). He left for the KHL for a couple of seasons before returning to North America with the Lightning this year. He had one goal in 15 games with Tampa Bay before being waived on Monday.
