2026 Anaheim Ducks outlook | NHL.com NHL Tonight dives into the moves that the Anaheim Ducks made in the offseason and tempers expectations for this season

3 HOURS AGO • NHL.COM

Ian Moore - Shelved on IR to start season Moore (lower body) will begin the 2026-27 regular season on injured reserve.

Impact Moore's move to injured reserve was expected, as the team announced that he was expected to miss 2-4 weeks in mid-September. The 24-year-old blueliner had a solid rookie campaign, where he posted four goals, 12 points, 66 shots on net, 42 hits and 80 blocked shots across 67 regular-season games in the 2025-26 season. With the Ducks losing multiple key defensemen over the past calendar year, Moore has the potential to see increased playing time once he's available to return. Tyson Hinds, Nick Jensen and Tristan Luneau will open the upcoming campaign as the team's right-handed defensemen in Moore's absence.

Troy Terry - Placed on injured non-roster list Terry (hip) shifted to non-roster injured reserve Monday.

Impact Terry is slated to miss a large chunk of the season, as it was announced Sept. 19 that the 29-year-old is expected to be out for another 2-3 months. The 2015 fifth-round selection played through his hip issue in the 2026 postseason and ultimately underwent surgery in June. Fantasy managers can now afford stash Terry on injured reserve rather than using an active roster spot on the forward.

Pavel Mintyukov - Returns to practice Monday Mintyukov (illness) returned to practice Monday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov was sidelined for Saturday's preseason finale against the Kings due to an illness, but he appears to be back to full health a few days later. The 22-year-old will have several days to work with the Ducks in practice and should be available for their Opening Night matchup against the Golden Knights on Friday.

Travis Mitchell - Headed to waivers Mitchell was placed on waivers by the Ducks on Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Mitchell was a surprise addition on Sunday's waiver list, as the Ducks currently have multiple key defensemen either listed as day-to-day or out, including Pavel Mintyukov (illness), Drew Helleson (lower body) and Ian Moore (lower body). The 26-year-old Mitchell played nine regular-season outings with the Islanders in 2025-26, but he primarily played with AHL Bridgeport, posting a goal and 17 points across 58 regular-season games. While he'll head to AHL San Diego if he goes unclaimed, he could return to Anaheim in the near future if the team's defensive core has their current health issues persist.

Laurent Brossoit - Hits waivers Sunday Brossoit was placed on waivers Sunday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact Brossoit inked a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Anaheim on the opening day of free agency in July. If he clears waivers and reports to AHL San Diego, he will provide the Ducks with an organizational depth netminder if injuries occur.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Rian Chudzinski - Three points for Moncton Chudzinski scored twice and added an assist in QMJHL Moncton's 4-3 overtime win over Charlottetown on Saturday.

Impact Chudzinski has multiple points in three of four contests for the Wildcats this season, totaling four goals, three assists and 16 shots on net so far. The 2026 third-round pick of the Ducks is off to a strong start in his second year of junior hockey. Chudzinski is expected to make the jump to the NCAA with Boston University in 2027-28.

Beckett Sennecke - Wraps up productive preseason Sennecke scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Kings.

Impact The 20-year-old winger gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead late in the first period, snapping a shot past Darcy Kuemper from down low, but the Ducks offense stalled out after that. It was Sennecke's fourth goal in four preseason contests, giving him plenty of momentum heading into his second NHL campaign. Sennecke is coming off an impressive rookie season in which he racked up 23 goals and 60 points in 82 regular-season contests, before adding four goals and an assist in six playoff games.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Dostal - Struggles in preseason finale Dostal made 14 saves in Saturday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Kings.

Impact The Ducks actually held a 2-1 lead late in the first period, but Los Angeles scored five straight goals against Dostal to end the preseason on a sour note for the netminder. Dostal recorded a career-high 30 wins in 2025-26, and he remains the clear No. 1 in the crease for an Anaheim team looking to take another step forward this season.

Pavel Mintyukov - Battling illness Mintyukov (illness) isn't available for Saturday's preseason tilt against Los Angeles, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Mintyukov had eight goals, 22 points, 39 hits and 112 blocks in 73 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The Ducks don't have their regular-season opener until Friday in Vegas, so Mintyukov might still be fine for that game.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Dostal - Defending crease Saturday Dostal will guard the road net in Saturday's preseason finale against the Kings, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Dostal posted a 30-20-4 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 56 regular-season outings in 2025-26. He should get the bulk of the starts for the Ducks again in the 2026-27 campaign.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nathan Gaucher - Placed on waivers Gaucher was placed on waivers by the Ducks on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Gaucher got his first taste of NHL action during the 2025-26 campaign by making three regular-season appearances with Anaheim, and he was held scoreless with six hits and a blocked shot while averaging 8:01 of ice time. Across 62 regular-season outings with AHL San Diego last year, he logged 15 goals, 14 assists and 47 PIM, and he'll presumably head back to the minors if he clears waivers.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jett Woo - Placed on waivers Woo was put on waivers by Anaheim on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Woo had two goals, 10 points and 92 PIM in 43 AHL regular-season outings between Abbotsford and San Jose. The 26-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut and is projected to open the upcoming campaign in the minors.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Corey Schueneman - On waivers Schueneman was waived by Anaheim on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Schueneman had six goals and 31 points in 71 regular-season AHL appearances between Springfield and Hershey in 2025-26. The 31-year-old blueliner also has two goals and seven points in 35 career regular-season NHL games, but he didn't log any time at the top level in 2025-26.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

James Hamblin - Waived Friday Hamblin was placed on waivers by Anaheim on Friday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Hamblin had 27 goals and 41 points in 64 regular-season appearances in 64 regular-season outings with AHL Bakersfield. The 27-year-old is projected to spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the AHL.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sean Farrell - Hits waivers Farrell was put on waivers by Anaheim on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Farrell had 16 goals and 53 points in 72 regular-season appearances with AHL Laval. The 24-year-old last played in the NHL in 2022-23 when he scored a goal in six regular-season outings with Montreal.

Ville Husso - Ugly outing Thursday Husso stopped 13 of 19 shots in Thursday's 10-0 preseason loss to the Sharks.

Impact The Ducks brought their most of AHL roster for this contest, aside from Husso, who is projected to be the NHL backup. The game went about as expected, with Husso getting no help in the ugly loss. Laurent Brossoit didn't do much better, allowing four goals on eight shots, so this isn't likely to change the pecking order for starts. Expect Lukas Dostal to operate as the starter in 2026-27 with Husso serving as backup as long as he can produce passable numbers.
