Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Suffers injury at practice
Lundestrom sustained an apparent lower-body injury during Thursday's practice session, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.
Lundestrom needed assistance getting off the ice and to the dressing room after sustaining his injury, and the severity of the issue isn't yet known. He'll have a few days to recover before the Ducks face the Sharks on Saturday, but Ross Johnston could see a role for Anaheim if Lundestrom is unavailable.

Ducks' John Gibson: Placed on IR
Gibson (abdomen) was designated for injured reserve Monday.
Gibson was facing an absence of 3-6 weeks, so the fact that he was placed on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. Without a veteran netminder on the roster, the Ducks claimed James Reimer off waivers Monday. Once cleared to play, Gibson will compete with Lukas Dostal for the starting job.

Ducks' Calle Clang: Sent to minors
Clang was assigned to AHL San Diego on Monday.
The 22-year-old hasn't yet made his NHL debut, and he'll be sent down after the Ducks claimed James Reimer off waivers Monday. Clang made 32 appearances for the Gulls last year, posting a 10-16-4 record, 3.21 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Ducks' James Reimer: Claimed by Anaheim
Reimer was claimed off waivers by the Ducks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Reimer was waived by Buffalo on Sunday, but he'll land with Anaheim ahead of the regular season. The 36-year-old made 25 regular-season appearances for Detroit last year, logging an 11-8-2 record, 3.11 GAA and .904 save percentage. If he sticks with the Ducks this year, he'll likely serve as a backup netminder behind Lukas Dostal.

Ducks' Oscar Dansk: Lands on waivers
Dansk was put on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Dansk provided a record of 11-12-3 with a 3.22 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 27 regular-season appearances with AHL Calgary in 2023-24. If the 30-year-old clears waivers and heads to AHL San Diego, Calle Clang could begin the 2024-25 campaign as Lukas Dostal's backup due to the absence of John Gibson (abdomen).

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Finds twine Friday
Vatrano scored a goal on seven shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason shootout win over the Sharks.
Vatrano has two goals over three preseason outings. The 30-year-old had a career year in 2023-24 with 37 goals, 60 points, 156 hits and 272 shots on net over 82 games. He also shot 13.6 percent, which isn't outrageous for him, but is still likely to lead to some regression. It won't help that the additions of Cutter Gauthier and Robby Fabbri are set to eat into some of Vatrano's minutes both on the power play and at even strength. Vatrano can still offer decent category coverage, but he'll be most helpful in formats that don't play with plus-minus rating.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Secures shootout win
Dostal allowed two goals on 25 shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason shootout win over the Sharks.
Dostal went 2-1-0 with eight goals allowed on 108 shots over four preseason appearances. Facing a heavy workload has been a theme for a few years in Anaheim, giving Dostal higher fantasy value in formats that reward shots against or saves if he can continue to turn them aside at a reasonable rate. The 24-year-old is poised to open the season as the Ducks' top goalie while John Gibson remains on the mend from an appendectomy.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Back in action
Terry (lower body) will play Friday versus the Sharks.
Terry will suit up in the preseason finale after missing practice Monday and Tuesday. The 27-year-old will fill a top-six role, though he may have limited minutes to avoid aggravating the injury. Nonetheless, Terry looks good to go for Opening Night on Oct. 12 versus the Sharks.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Facing Sharks
Dostal will be in goal on the road in Friday's preseason game versus the Sharks.
Dostal was sharp in his third preseason game Wednesday, stopping 35 of 37 shots to defeat Utah. The 24-year-old goalie will have plenty of time to prepare for the regular season after this contest, as the Ducks' season opener is Saturday, Oct. 12, also in San Jose, as part of a back-to-back that also sees Anaheim visit Vegas a day later.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Assigned to junior team
Sennecke was assigned to OHL Oshawa on Friday.
Sennecke recovered from a foot fracture in time to see some preseason action with the Ducks this week, but he'll still head back to his junior team before the NHL regular season gets underway. He made 63 appearances for Oshawa last year and tallied 27 goals and 68 points.

Ducks' Nikita Nesterenko: Reassigned to AHL
Nesterenko was sent to AHL San Diego on Friday.
Nesterenko recorded 16 goals and 37 points across 70 contests with San Diego during the 2023-24 regular season. He also contributed a goal in three games with Anaheim. The 23-year-old is projected to spend a substantial majority of the upcoming campaign in the minors, but he might get another stint in the NHL at some stage of the season.

Ducks' Nathan Gaucher: Assigned to AHL
Gaucher was assigned to AHL San Diego on Friday.
Gaucher dealt with a lower-body injury to begin training camp and the preseason slate, but he played in Wednesday's exhibition matchup against Utah. He'll head to the Gulls for a second consecutive season after logging 10 goals and 25 points over 72 appearances with the club last year. The 20-year-old was the No. 22 overall pick in last year's draft and should factor into the team's long-term plans, but it's unclear whether he'll make his NHL debut this season.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Sent to minors
Colangelo was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Friday.
Colangelo had 24 goals and 43 points in 38 appearances with Western Michigan University in 2023-24. He then finished the regular season by scoring a goal in three games with Anaheim as well as a goal and four points across four outings with San Diego. Although Colangelo is set to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another shot with the Ducks at some point during the season.

Ducks' Jansen Harkins: Placed on waivers Friday
The Ducks placed Harkins on waivers Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
This is a bit of a surprise as the Ducks inked Harkins to a two-year contract in the offseason. He had four assists in 45 regular-season games with the Penguins last season and should be sent to the minors, if he clears waivers.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Pots goal
Fabbri scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Fabbri and Tristan Luneau worked into Utah's zone on a 2-on-1, and Fabbri was able to bury the Ducks' fourth goal. The 28-year-old winger had a bounce-back year with 32 points in 68 games with the Red Wings last season. Staying healthy will be the top priority for Fabbri, who has missed at least 10 games in every season of his career. He'll likely open 2024-25 in a middle-six role, and he should be a candidate to see power-play time after earning a career-best 12 points with the man advantage last year.

Ducks' Alex Killorn: Produces two points
Killorn scored a goal, notched an assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Killorn opened the scoring in the first period and set up Leo Carlsson on the last goal of the game. In preseason action, Killorn has mainly worked alongside Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier, providing a veteran presence on an otherwise young line. Killorn was limited to 36 points in 63 games in 2023-24, but he could have a bounce-back year if his young linemates play up to their potential.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Finds twine in win
Gauthier scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Gauthier scored early in the third period on a feed from Leo Carlsson. That pair of forwards could open the season in a top-line role, though it's no guarantee they both stay there if they slump. Gauthier had an assist in his NHL debut in April, and a strong campaign in 2024-25 could earn him some attention in the Calder Trophy voting.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Leads offense with three points
Carlsson scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Carlsson is up to four points over two preseason appearances after playing a leading role Wednesday. The 19-year-old center's rookie campaign was abbreviated by a workload management plan and multiple injuries, which limited him to 29 points in 55 contests last year. He could be poised for a breakout in 2024-25, especially if the team around him also takes a step forward.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Sharp in win
Dostal stopped 35 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Dostal has allowed six goals on 83 shots over three preseason games. The 24-year-old goalie looks ready for the regular season, and he'll have a chance to establish himself as the No. 1 goalie while John Gibson recovers from his appendectomy. Dostal's fantasy value may still be limited to deeper formats initially, but he could be a strong waiver-wire add in standard leagues if the 2024-25 Ducks take a significant step forward compared to last year's team.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine Wednesday
Dostal will serve as the starting goaltender in Wednesday's home preseason game against Utah, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal is expected to play the entire game in his third start of the preseason Wednesday. He last started against the Kings on Saturday and turned aside 30 of 33 shots. Dostal will likely serve as the No. 1 goaltender for the Ducks once the regular season gets underway, but he'll see increased competition for playing time once John Gibson (appendectomy) is cleared to return.
