Mrazek (undisclosed) won't suit up Tuesday versus the Flyers, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Mrazek will miss at least one game with the injury. Lukas Dostal is starting Tuesday while Ville Husso serves as backup. Mrazek's status for the remainder of the Ducks' road trip is unclear at this time.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: In goal against Flyers
Rotowire
Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal will unsurprisingly get the start after Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) was injured Monday against the Capitals. The 25-year-old Dostal stopped all three shots he faced after entering Monday's game, but he has lost his last four decisions (0-3-1) while allowing a total of 21 goals on 125 shots (.832 save percentage) over his last six appearances. Dostal will need to do a lot better to help the Ducks get out of their skid, though Ville Husso has done a fine job when called upon.

Ducks' Nikita Nesterenko: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Anaheim waived Nesterenko on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Nesterenko is currently stuck in a 17-game goal drought during which he has recorded three assists, 20 shots and 33 hits while averaging 11:37 of ice time. Assuming the 24-year-old winger clears waivers, he will head down to AHL San Diego. The move to waive Nesterenko could result in increased minutes for Jansen Harkins.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Snags assist in loss
Rotowire
Zellweger registered an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Zellweger and Radko Gudas had a decent defensive game, but the Ducks as a whole struggled. Zellweger hasn't scored a goal since the end of his four-game point streak in late November, but he has picked up six helpers, 17 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over his last 16 outings despite playing in a bottom-four role. He's also lost his power-play time during that stretch. Overall, Zellweger is at 16 points, 70 shots, 42 blocks and a plus-7 rating across 41 appearances this season.

Ducks' Jacob Trouba: Pots goal Monday
Rotowire
Trouba scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots, added five PIM and went minus-3 in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Trouba snapped a four-game point drought. He also answered to Brandon Duhaime in a first-period fight that was likely retribution for Trouba's hit on Ryan Leonard a month ago. The 31-year-old Trouba is up to seven goals, 18 points, 83 shots on net, 83 hits, 73 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 42 appearances this season. He won't always chip in offense, but his non-scoring production should be steady.

Ducks' Alex Killorn: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Killorn scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Killorn ended a five-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 36-year-old forward was limited to three points across 15 contests in December. Overall, he has three goals, nine assists, 71 shots on net, 35 hits, 20 PIM and 18 blocked shots across 42 outings. The Ducks have shuffled the lines on occasion amid a six-game losing streak, so Killorn could rotate through a few different forward combinations until something sticks.

Ducks' Chris Kreider: Tallies in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Kreider scored a goal in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Kreider opened the scoring at 6:33 of the first period, but the Capitals had the next five tallies. That was too much for the Ducks to overcome. Kreider had been ice-cold entering Monday, going 15 games without a goal and adding just three assists in that span. The veteran winger is now at 14 goals, nine assists, 76 shots on net, 34 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances. His shooting percentage is still a lofty 18.4 percent -- it was 26.1 percent at the end of November before his December skid.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Goal streak at three games
Rotowire
Sennecke scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Sennecke has scored a goal in three straight games, giving him a hot start to January after a fade in the second half of December. The 19-year-old is up to 14 goals, 32 points, 87 shots on net, 42 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 42 appearances. Halfway through his rookie year, Sennecke looks like a future star and a potential multi-category stud for fantasy purposes as well.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Husso was recalled from AHL San Diego on Tuesday.
Husso's elevation to the NHL roster would seem to indicate that Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) won't be eligible to serve as the backup against the Flyers on Tuesday. In his nine appearances for the Ducks this year, the 30-year-old backstop is sporting a 5-3-1 record, 3.24 GAA and .884 save percentage.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Perfect in relief Monday
Rotowire
Dostal turned aside the only three shots he faced after replacing Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) to begin the third period of Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Washington did score two empty-net tallies after Dostal was lifted for the final 93 seconds of the game. The 25-year-old netminder has looked shaky since returning in mid-December from an upper-body injury, going 2-5-1 in 10 outings with a 3.96 GAA and an .845 save percentage, but the Ducks need Dostal to find his early-season form if they're going to hang onto a playoff spot.
Ducks' Petr Mrazek: Sustains injury against Washington
Rotowire
Head coach Joel Quenneville said that Mrazek (undisclosed) was injured during Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Mrazek was replaced in goal by Lukas Dostal for the start of the third period in the defeat. Mrazek missed a few weeks in December due to a lower-body problem, but it's currently unclear if the reason he left Monday's game was a result of an aggravation of his previous injury. If Mrazek is forced to miss any upcoming games, it wouldn't be surprising to see Ville Husso elevated from the minors. The Ducks will continue their road trip in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Mrazek will be between the pipes on the road against the Capitals on Monday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Mrazek will take the first game of the Ducks' back-to-back, which means fantasy managers can expect to see Lukas Dostal in the crease on the road versus Philadelphia on Tuesday. The veteran Mrazek has appeared in just two of the Ducks' last 16 contests, going 0-1-0 with five goals allowed on 22 shots. Given his infrequent usage, Mrazek is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value.
Ducks' Ethan Procyszyn: Earns three points in OHL win
Rotowire
Procyszyn scored twice and added an assist in OHL North Bay's 5-2 win over Sudbury on Sunday.
Procyszyn has had a strong run lately with five goals and five assists over his last six games. He had previously gone nine contests without a multi-point effort before this stretch, which has seen him log multiple points four times. Procyszyn is at 12 goals, 26 points, 59 PIM and 116 shots on net over 35 appearances this season. His long-term potential in the Ducks' organization is likely as a bottom-six center, though he could still offer decent offense from that role.

Ducks' Tarin Smith: Earns three helpers Saturday
Rotowire
Smith registered three assists in WHL Everett's 6-0 win over Wenatchee on Saturday.
Smith had gone 10 games without a multi-point effort, logging seven assists in that span. The defenseman is up to seven goals and 30 helpers through 35 outings this season. If he can keep up that pace, he'll have his first point-per-game campaign in the WHL, which should be good for his standing in a deep defensive pipeline for the Ducks.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Scores again in loss
Rotowire
Sennecke scored a goal on six shots, added four PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Sennecke has scored in consecutive contests and now leads all rookies with 13 goals. He's also second in the points race for rookies, with his 31 trailing just Montreal's Ivan Demidov (35) through Friday's action. Sennecke has emerged with some multi-category appeal as well with 82 shots, 41 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances. Avoiding the rookie wall will be the big challenge in the second half, especially since the Ducks' late-December lull has continued into January.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Tallies late in loss
Rotowire
Terry scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Terry got the last goal of the contest, which had no impact on the result. He's earned four points over his last three outings. He had five goals and four assists over 15 games in December, but he had three multi-game dry spells in that month. Overall, the veteran winger is at 13 goals, 39 points, 100 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 41 appearances. He's on pace to top the 70-point mark for the first time in his career and could push for 80 if he produces at a high level in the second half of the campaign.
