Gustav Lindstrom - Supplies assist in win Lindstrom posted an assist and four PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Lindstrom has a helper in three of his last five outings. The 25-year-old could see steady playing time while Cam Fowler (face) is out of the lineup, but it's unclear which of Lindstrom or Olen Zellweger would get the last spot on defense when the Ducks are at full health. Lindstrom has seven points, 20 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 26 appearances between the Ducks and the Canadiens this season, showing solid defensive capabilities with limited offense.

Jackson LaCombe - Hands out helper Friday LaCombe recorded an assist, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact LaCombe has three helpers over the last two contests. The 23-year-old saw top-four usage Friday with the Ducks' blue line depleted by the trade of Ilya Lyubushkin to Toronto and the absence of Cam Fowler (face). LaCombe has handled those minutes on occasion before, though his defense is still a work in progress. The rookie blueliner has 12 points, a minus-24 rating, 46 shots on net and 98 blocked shots through 53 appearances this season.

Radko Gudas - Assist, fight in win Gudas posted an assist, seven hits, five blocked shots and a fighting major in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Gudas dropped the mitts with Curtis Lazar in the first period and then added his helper on a Frank Vatrano tally in the second. This was Gudas' second straight game with a helper following a nine-game scoring slump. The tough-as-nails defenseman has 15 points, 196 hits, 126 blocked shots, 105 PIM, 75 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 54 appearances this season. Gudas will likely continue to see significant defensive minutes as long as Cam Fowler (face) is out.

Troy Terry - Earns helper in return Terry logged an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Terry missed two games with an upper-body injury before his return Friday. The 26-year-old was able to get on the scoresheet with a primary helper on Frank Vatrano's second-period tally. Terry had eight points over seven games in February, but they were contained to a trio of multi-point efforts. He's up to 46 points, 131 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 55 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Max Jones - One of each in win Jones scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, doled out five hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Jones' goal was his first since Dec. 31, though he also missed 12 of the 23 games between tallies due to an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old winger was promoted to the top line at even strength with Leo Carlsson (upper body) out of action Friday. Jones hasn't done much on offense with 12 points through 44 contests, but he's added physicality with 112 hits and 27 PIM while mainly playing in a bottom-six role this season.

Adam Henrique - Tallies in Friday's win Henrique scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Henrique has six points over his last four games, and he's scored in each of the last two contests. The 34-year-old had four goals over two games against the Devils this season, as he continues to play well against his former team. The veteran forward is up to 18 tallies, 42 points, 111 shots on net, 58 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 59 outings in a top-six role.

Frank Vatrano - Nearing 30-goal mark Vatrano scored a pair of goals on five shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Vatrano has racked up seven goals and five assists over 10 games since the start of February. He scored the Ducks' first and last goals in this contest, putting him at 29 tallies on the year. The 29-year-old continues to impress while also shooting 15.5 percent, his highest in a season. The winger has 48 points, 187 shots on net, 118 hits, 69 PIM and a minus-17 rating through 60 appearances.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Lukas Dostal - Earns first win since January Dostal stopped 51 of 54 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Dostal faced a frenetic Devils attack and did just enough to hold them at bay, including stopping a penalty shot with less than three seconds left in the game. This is the second time Dostal has made 50-plus saves in a game this season -- the Ducks are 1-0-1 in those contests. The 23-year-old won his first game since Jan. 27 and improved to 9-15-1 with a 3.67 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 28 appearances this season. While this was a strong outing, Dostal will likely be back in the backup role Sunday versus the Canucks.

Mason McTavish - Injured Friday McTavish suffered a lower-body injury Friday against New Jersey.
Impact McTavish tallied an assist while logging 5:47 of ice time prior to exiting the game. The 21-year-old is up to 40 points through 52 games this season. An update on his status should be available before Sunday's tilt with the Canucks.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Leo Carlsson - Out Friday Carlsson (upper body) will not suit up Friday against the Devils.
Impact Carlsson was a late scratch Friday and is currently considered day-to-day with his upper-body issue. The rookie center has 23 points through 40 games but just five points over his last 13 contests.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Fowler - Out Friday Fowler (upper body) will not play Friday against New Jersey, per the NHL's media site.
Impact Fowler was injured Thursday against San Jose and will now miss at least one game as a result. The 32-year-old blueliner has four goals and 28 points in 59 contests this season. Olen Zellweger was recalled from AHL San Diego and will suit up Friday.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Troy Terry - Good to go Friday Terry (upper body) will be in Friday's lineup against the Devils, per the NHL's media site.
Impact Terry missed the last two games but will be back in action for the first time since Feb. 24. The 26-year-old has racked up 18 points in his last 13 appearances, giving him 17 goals and 45 points through 54 games this season.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Lukas Dostal - Guarding cage Friday Dostal will be stationed between the pipes at home Friday against the Devils.
Impact Dostal has dropped four straight games while posting an ugly 5.10 GAA during that span. His last win was Jan. 27 in Minnesota. The 23-year-old is 8-15-1 this season with a 3.70 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 27 contests.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Olen Zellweger - Up from minors Zellweger was recalled from AHL San Diego on Friday.
Impact Zellweger has 12 goals and 37 points in 44 contests with San Diego as well as an assist in four games with Anaheim this season. Cam Fowler suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's 6-4 win over San Jose, so Zellweger would likely draw into the lineup if Fowler is unavailable for Friday's game against New Jersey.

Bo Groulx - Falls out of favor in February Groulx was scratched for the Ducks' last six games in February.
Impact Groulx saw semi-regular playing time in January, but that dried up with the Ducks getting closer to full health in February. Brett Leason has also emerged from a similar stint in the press box, though Groulx's grittier playing style fits in a bottom-six role better than Leason's. Groulx has just two assists with 27 shots on net, 66 hits and 23 blocked shots over 32 appearances this season, so he's not really an option in fantasy even if he can stick in the lineup.
