Troy Terry - Day-to-day with upper-body injury Terry sustained an upper-body injury Friday and is day-to-day as a result, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports Saturday.
Impact Terry was hurt in the third period of Anaheim's 2-0 loss to Arizona when he collided with teammate Mason McTavish. Terry has nine goals and 22 points in 35 outings in 2023-24.

John Gibson - On wrong end of shutout Gibson allowed two goals on 32 shots in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Gibson had won his last two outings, and he's allowed two goals or fewer in each of his last three games. The Ducks weren't able to give him any support in Friday's loss. He dropped to 7-14-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 23 outings this season. Gibson figures to see most of the playing time going forward, as Lukas Dostal has struggled to display any consistency when given starts this year. The Ducks are back in action with a tough home matchup versus the Oilers on Sunday.

Brock McGinn - Back with team McGinn (personal) was on the ice for practice Thursday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Impact McGinn was not available versus Anaheim on Wednesday for the birth of his child but has now rejoined the team and should be an option against Arizona. Having said that, the 29-year-old winger could be in danger of being a healthy scratch for the matchup with the Coyotes based on line combinations Thursday.

Impact Gudas has five goals, nine points, 65 PIM, 82 hits and 63 blocks in 31 outings this season. If he can return Friday, then Urho Vaakanainen might lose his spot in the lineup.

John Gibson - Tending twine Friday Gibson will be in goal against Arizona at home Friday, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.
Impact Gibson has secured wins in each of his last two contests while recording a 1.80 GAA and .941 save percentage. At this point, the veteran backstop figures to continue dividing the workload with youngster Lukas Dostal, with the coaching staff likely to take a win-and-your-in approach.

Ilya Lyubushkin - Garners assist Wednesday Lyubushkin notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Lyubushkin helped out on Frank Vatrano's first-period marker, which stood as the game-winner. The 29-year-old Lyubushkin has earned two of his four assists this season over the last six games. The blueliner plays mostly a defensive role in the Ducks' bottom four. He's added 24 shots on net, 24 PIM, 58 hits, 84 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 34 appearances, but his offense is too limited to help most fantasy managers.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Henrique - Manages helper Wednesday Henrique produced an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Henrique helped out on the first of Brett Leason's two goals in the game. The helper was Henrique's ninth point over 11 outings this month. The 33-year-old continues to be effective in a middle-six role, though he sees time in all situations. Overall, he's produced 10 goals, nine assists, 55 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 33 outings. Seven of his points have come on the power play and another three have come shorthanded.

Impact Killorn has a goal and four helpers over his last five games. The 34-year-old set up a Troy Terry goal as the Ducks' first line scored the team's fourth tally in the opening frame. Killorn is up to 13 points, 58 shots on net, 14 hits, 13 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 24 contests overall. His place on the top line should be safe as long as Leo Carlsson (knee) is out of the lineup.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Strome - Posts helper Wednesday Strome recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Strome has two helpers over his last four games to shake off a six-game point drought. He helped out on Jamie Drysdale's first-period marker Wednesday. The 30-year-old Strome has been back on a line with Frank Vatrano and Mason McTavish since the latter returned from an upper-body injury. Strome has 19 points, 61 shots on net, 46 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 33 appearances this season, playing mainly in a second-line role.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Zegras has a goal and an assist over two games since he returned from a 20-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The center helped out on Troy Terry's first-period marker Wednesday. Zegras is up to four points, 37 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 14 appearances. The 22-year-old should remain in a top-six role with Leo Carlsson (knee) out well into January, and Zegras is looking more like himself after starting the season poorly prior to his injury.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Fowler - Provides pair of helpers Fowler logged two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Fowler helped out on both of Brett Leason's goals. With five helpers over his last five contests, Fowler continues to find ways to be productive. The defenseman has 17 points, 45 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 34 outings overall. With Jamie Drysdale seeing more power-play time, Fowler's time in that role could reduce, but the 32-year-old remains the Ducks' top all-situations defenseman for now.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mason McTavish - Distributes three helpers McTavish notched three assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact McTavish helped out on goals by Jamie Drysdale, Frank Vatrano and Brett Leason in this contest. McTavish missed seven games with an upper-body injury earlier in December, and he entered Wednesday on a six-game point drought. The 20-year-old center is up to 24 points, 70 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 27 outings overall. With Leo Carlsson (knee) out for at least a month, McTavish should have no trouble maintaining a significant role in the Ducks' top six.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Drysdale - Finds twine Drysdale scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Drysdale gave the Ducks a 2-0 lead in the first period. The 21-year-old defenseman hadn't scored since March of 2022 after missing most of last season with a shoulder injury and a large portion of 2023-24 with a lower-body issue. The blueliner is up to three points, 10 shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through five appearances this season. Fantasy managers should check if Drysdale is available -- he should see regular power-play time and top-four minutes as long as he can stay healthy.

Troy Terry - Deposits goal Wednesday Terry scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Terry continues to play well in December -- he has four goals and three assists over his last seven games. The winger's marker capped a four-goal first period for the Ducks in their surprise win Wednesday. Terry has nine goals, 22 points, 82 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 34 appearances. He's still got work to do, but he's looking much more like the player that exceeded 60 points in each of the last two seasons.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Frank Vatrano - Pots goal in win Vatrano scored a goal, levied four hits, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Vatrano's first-period tally held as the game-winner. This was Vatrano's second straight game with a goal, and it's likely not a coincidence his offense has sparked back to life in short order since Mason McTavish returned from a upper-body injury last week. Vatrano is up to 16 goals, 25 points, 115 shots on net, 61 hits, 38 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 34 appearances.

The 24-year-old opened the scoring at 3:23 of the first period Wednesday, then added the last goal late in the second period. Leason is up to six tallies, a career-high 11 points, 44 shots on net, 34 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 30 appearances. He may have some fantasy value in deep formats.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Gibson - Cruises to win Gibson allowed two goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact The Ducks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first period, making things easy for Gibson the rest of the way. Vegas mounted a partial comeback in the second period, but the 30-year-old netminder slammed the door in the third to preserve the win, his third in his last six outings. Gibson missed some time while with his family for the birth of his child, but it appears the time off has helped him refresh. He's now at 7-13-0 with a 2.80 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The Ducks' next game is Friday versus the Coyotes.
