Anaheim Ducks News

Greer was held out of Florida's game on Thursday due to roster management purposes but ultimately was never traded. Sandis Vilmanis will sit in his place.

Sandis Vilmanis will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Greer to re-enter the lineup against the Detroit Red Wings. The 29-year-old Greer is averaging 11:38 time-on-ice and has 22 points (11G / 11A) in 61 games for the Panthers this season.

Dostal had the night off in Anaheim's previous game, following a poor outing where he allowed five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, and hopes to rebound on Friday against the Montreal Canadiens. Before his recent blip, the 25-year-old Czech goalie was on a tremendous run, posting a stellar 2.35 GAA and .917 SV% while winning 11 of 12 games (11-1-0). The Ducks enter Friday's contest as slight -103 home underdogs against a Canadiens team that has lost two of their last three games (1-1-1).

Poehling has impressed since being acquired by the Ducks in the Trevor Zegras trade in the off-season, tallying seven goals and 17 assists across 54 games. The contract carries a $3.75-million AAV, totaling $15-million over the four year deal.

Given it's the final game before the NHL's trade deadline, there is plenty of speculation that sitting Greer tonight may be due to roster management purposes, but the Panthers have not confirmed that to be the case. Greer has appeared in 61 games this season, tallying 11 goals and 11 assists.

Woo was a second round pick of the Vancouver Canucks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make his NHL debut. The 25-year-old defenseman scored eight points (1G / 7A) in 26 games with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) this season.

Helleson will take a seat on Wednesday along with Jansen Harkins as the Ducks opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Ryan Strome and Frank Vatrano will draw into the lineup in their place.

Vatrano has not played since the end of December. The 31-year-old Vatrano has scored over 20 goals in each of his past three seasons, but has struggled to produce in 2025-26, with only six points (3G / 3A) through 38 games.

The Ducks will unsurprisingly turn to their backup netminder Husso for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Wednesday. Husso's last start came way back on January 26th when he was tagged for five goals on 30 shots in a 7-4 loss in Edmonton. The 30-year-old goaltender has made 11 starts for the Ducks this season, logging a 6-5-1 record and an .882 SV%. Husso and The Ducks enter action on Wednesday at -105 on the money line.

Dostal was excellent in Anaheim's previous game, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout win over the Calgary Flames. The 25-year-old Czech goalie improved to 11-1-0 in his last 12 games, posting a solid 2.35 GAA and .917 SV%. That said, the Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as +130 home underdogs against a league-leading Colorado Avalanche team they defeated 2-1 in their most recent meeting.

Vatrano has not played since the end of December. The 31-year-old Vatrano has scored over 20 goals in each of his past three seasons, but has struggled to produce in 2025-26, with only six points (3G / 3A) through 38 games.

Terry recorded an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but was limited to only 13:52 time-on-ice, due to an upper-body injury and will miss Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 28-year-old Terry has battled a string of injuries this season, but has been extremely productive when healthy, scoring 45 points (13G / 32A) in 46 games.

The Ducks will hand Dostal his 40th start of the season when they play host to the Jets on Friday. Dostal surrendered five goals on 27 shots in his first start following the Olympic break on Wednesday, but still managed to come away with the victory as the Ducks bested the Oilers by a score of 6-5. The 25-year-old netminder brings a 22-13-2 record and an .895 SV% into Friday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action at -130 on the money line.

Vatrano has not played since the end of December, but could return to the lineup on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 31-year-old Vatrano has scored over 20 goals in each of his past three seasons, but has struggled to produce in 2025-26, with only six points (3G / 3A) through 38 games.

Terry recorded an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but was limited to only 13:52 time-on-ice, due to an upper-body injury and is uncertain for Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 28-year-old Terry has battled a string of injuries this season, but has been extremely productive when healthy, scoring 45 points (13G / 32A) in 46 games.
