Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: Back at practice
Mintyukov (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Mintyukov should be available to play Tuesday against San Jose after missing Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. He has compiled two goals, three shots on net, six blocked shots and three hits in four appearances this campaign. With Mintyukov likely to play, Olen Zellweger might be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.

Ducks' John Gibson: Expected to travel with team
Head coach Greg Cronin said Monday that he anticipates Gibson (abdomen) accompanying the Ducks on their upcoming road trip, which begins Saturday against the Rangers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Gibson has missed the first few weeks of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy, but he appears to be closing in on a return. While it's not yet clear when he could be back in game action, it's encouraging that he'll travel with the team for the upcoming four-game road trip. Once Gibson is able to return, he'll likely compete with Lukas Dostal for the starting goaltender job.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Absent from practice
Vatrano didn't practice ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Sharks while awaiting the birth of his child, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Vatrano hasn't found the back of the net in four games this season but did pick up helpers in each of his last two outings. If the 30-year-old winger isn't available against San Jose, the team may have to bring up a player from the minors unless Isac Lundestrom (upper body) is cleared to play.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Dealing with illness
Strome didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Strome has recorded points in three consecutive appearances, including goals in his last two outings. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Sharks due to his illness. If he's sidelined, Brett Leason could see additional work for the Ducks.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Picks up helper in return
Vatrano logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Vatrano missed Friday's game versus the Avalanche while welcoming his child into the world. The winger was back in his familiar third-line role Sunday and earned an assist for the second game in a row. He's added six shots on net, six hits and five blocked shots over four appearances this season. Vatrano should continue to be a source of non-scoring production while playing on a checking line, and he's also seeing ice time in all situations.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Records helper in loss
Terry notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Terry picked up his first assist of the year and extended his point streak to four games after scoring in each of his last three outings. The 27-year-old set up a Ryan Strome tally late in the third period to prevent the Ducks from getting shut out. Terry has added 11 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating with four points over five contests this season.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Breaks up shutout bid
Strome scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Strome ended David Rittich's shutout bid at 18:16 of the third period, but the Ducks' comeback ultimately fell short. This was Strome's second game in a row with a goal, and he's up to three points through five outings overall. The 31-year-old center has added 14 shots on net and a minus-2 rating while playing in a third-line role.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Fades in third period
Dostal allowed two goals on 35 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. The last two goals were empty-netters.
The final score doesn't do justice to Dostal's performance in keeping this game close for two-plus periods. The Ducks were able to get one goal back with Dostal on the bench, but the Kings responded with their two empty-netters to send the 24-year-old to his first regulation loss. He's allowed 10 goals on 144 shots while going 2-1-1 over four starts this season. The Ducks' defense still has obvious flaws, but Dostal's workload and performance make him particularly valuable in formats that reward saves or shots against. The Ducks' next game is Tuesday versus the Sharks.

Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: Missing Sunday's game
Mintyukov will miss Sunday's contest versus Los Angeles due to an illness.
Mintyukov will be replaced in the lineup by Jackson LaCombe. Expect an update to come on Mintyukov's status ahead of Tuesday's game against San Jose.

Ducks' Jackson LaCombe: Returning to action Sunday
LaCombe (illness) will suit up for Sunday's home contest versus the Kings.
LaCombe will slot in on the second defense pair with Radko Gudas in the former's first appearance of the season. The 23-year-old LaCombe produced 17 points over 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine Sunday
Dostal will be between the pipes for Sunday's home tilt against the Kings, according to Eric Stephens of The Athletic.
Dostal will make his fourth start Sunday, and he's been solid through three games with a 2-0-1 record, .927 save percentage and 2.64 GAA. The 24-year-old has faced at least 30 shots in every game he's appeared in. The Kings are averaging 3.40 goals for per game to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Removed from non-roster list
Vatrano (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Saturday.
Vatrano missed Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado to attend the birth of his child. He will likely occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play combination versus the Kings on Sunday. Vatrano has one assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in three appearances this season. His return will probably bump Ross Johnston from the lineup.

Ducks' Jansen Harkins: Reassigned to AHL
Harkins was sent to AHL San Diego on Saturday.
Harkins was recalled Friday and saw 10:11 of ice time, managing one shot on goal, one hit and a blocked shot. He could return Sunday as the Ducks face LA, depending on the injured status of Isac Lundestrom, who missed Friday's game with an upper-body injury.

Ducks' Brian Dumoulin: Assists in consecutive games
Dumoulin registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Dumoulin has a helper in each of the last two games. The 33-year-old defenseman has played a shutdown role to begin his tenure with the Ducks, adding 12 blocked shots, eight hits, six shots on net and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. Dumoulin's playing style doesn't tend to lead to much offense, so he's unlikely to be anything more than a streaming option for non-scoring production in fantasy.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Provides assist Friday
Zellweger recorded an assist and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Zellweger picked up his first point over three appearances this season when he set up Troy Terry's equalizer late in the third period. The 21-year-old Zellweger has added eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He's not guaranteed a spot in the lineup, especially once Jackson LaCombe (illness) returns, but fantasy managers in dynasty formats should still be excited for Zellweger's potential in his first full campaign.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Scores in overtime loss
Strome scored a goal in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
This was his first goal of the 2024-25 campaign. Strome tallied late in the first period to give the Ducks a 2-0 lead. The veteran center has added an assist, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across four appearances. Strome is playing on the Ducks' third line, though the team's offense has been spread out fairly well over the top-nine forwards. Still, that usage on a team that's not out of a rebuild yet will make Strome a tough sell for fantasy managers.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Deposits goal Friday
Carlsson scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Carlsson's goal just barely got over the line, opening the scoring at 6:05 of the first period. The center is up to three points, 10 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across four contests this season. Carlsson is a name to keep an eye on in redraft formats in 2024-25, as his top-line role and significant power-play time could help him be productive in his second NHL campaign.
