Anaheim Ducks News

Trouba is a restricted free agent on July 1st but gives the Rangers a bonafide first-pairing defenseman, something they played the entire 2018-19 season without. After missing a combined 49 games in 2017 and 2018, Trouba appeared in all 82 games last year and set a new career-high with 50 points (8G / 42A). Trouba will log massive minutes for the Rangers next season and helps accelerate their rebuild, which was also aided by landing the No.2 overall pick in this year’s draft.

Gudas is heading into the final year of his four-year deal that carries a $3.35 million cap-hit, versus Niskanen’s two remaining years at $5.75 million. Gudas is coming off of one of his best offensive seasons, scoring four goals with 16 assists (20 points) in 77 games. Gudas was second on the Flyers in hits (255) and tied for third in blocked shots (133). He will help bolster the Capitals penalty-kill, where he played 2:37 per game last year—second among Flyers skaters.

Fabbri has been a healthy scratch since Game 5 of the Blues round-two win over the Stars, but will replace Robert Thomas in the lineup for Game 2 in Boston. Fabbri, who had just six points in the regular season, has just one goal in eight playoff games.

Dostal, 18, was a third-round pick (No.85 overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft and finished his season with Ilves Tampere in the Finnish Elite League at 4-4-2 with a 1.80 GAA and .920 SV% in 10 games.

Fabbri has been a healthy scratch for the first three games of the playoffs but will replace Zach Sanford on the fourth line. Sanford had an extremely quiet season, scoring two goals with four assists (six points) in 32 games.

Killorn was forced to leave Game 3 with an undisclosed injury but was on the ice for the morning skate and is officially listed as a game-time decision for Game 4. Killorn has one goal on six shots while averaging 12:13 TOI/gm through the first three games of the series.

Gibson stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Ducks win in Edmonton last Saturday. Gibson started the year strong and is finishing strong, winning three in a row and seven of his last eight while posting a 2.50 GAA and .925 SV%. The Ducks did him no justice this season but Gibson has won at least 25 games in three straight seasons now and should be a top goalie target heading into 2019-20.

Stalock allowed three goals on 20 shots in the Wild’s loss to the Islanders on March 17th. Stalock has not registered a win since January 15th, going 0-2-3 with a 3.87 GAA and .877 SV% in his last six appearances (five starts). In his first start vs. the Bruins, Stalock allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 4-0 loss.

Terry suffered a non-displaced fracture while blocking shot in Calgary on Friday. Terry will obviously miss the rest of the season but will be ready for training camp next season. Terry finishes the year with 13 points (4G / 9A) in 32 NHL games.

Bailey continues to draw in and out of the Flyers lineup, replacing Phil Varone tonight in Dallas. Bailey, who was a healthy scratch for the last three games, has one assist in 10 games this season.

Gudas will sit in Dallas as the Flyers allow Samuel Morin to get back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch on Sunday.
