Grabs two helpers in win Mintyukov notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Mintyukov has been back in the lineup for two games since he recovered from a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old had a hand in first-period tallies by Leo Carlsson and John Carlson to snap a five-game point drought. Mintyukov is up to 22 points, 78 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 70 appearances, playing mainly in a bottom-four role.

Playing versus Preds Mintyukov (lower body) will suit up against Nashville on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov returns following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. In his last 15 outings, the 22-year-old blueliner has managed just one goal, two assists and 22 shots while dishing out 29 blocks. With Minyyukov back, Olen Zellweger figures to land in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Won't play Saturday Mintyukov (lower body) won't play versus the Flames on Saturday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov is set to miss his third straight game. The defenseman's ongoing absence has kept Ian Moore and Drew Helleson in the lineup, and Tyson Hinds will get his NHL debut with the Ducks option for seven defensemen despite missing blueliners due to injuries. Mintyukov's next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Predators.

Unavailable versus Blues Mintyukov (lower body) will not be available for Friday's clash with St. Louis, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov is currently mired in an eight-game goal drought during which he registered two assists, 10 shots and 14 blocks while averaging 20:01 of ice time. Despite the recent slump, the 22-year-old blueliner has already set a new personal best with eight goals and is back over the 20-point mark after missing that threshold last season.

Out of lineup again Mintyukov (lower body) won't play versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov will be out of the lineup for the second time in three games due to the lower-body issue. Radko Gudas (lower body) is also out, creating room for both of Ian Moore and Drew Helleson to play. Mintyukov can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Blues, which is the first half of a back-to-back.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Monday Mintyukov (lower body) will be in the lineup versus Toronto on Monday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov returns after missing just one game due to his lower-body problem. The blueliner has scored just once in his last 14 contests while adding two helpers, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking on the 22-year-old offering much in the way of offensive upside.

Won't play Saturday Mintyukov (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Mintyukov has eight goals, 20 points, 10 PIM, 35 hits and 106 blocks in 67 appearances in 2025-26. Anaheim dressed seven defensemen for Thursday's game against Calgary, but Radko Gudas (lower body) and Mintyukov are both exiting the lineup due to injury. As a result, Anaheim will likely shift to 12 forwards and six defensemen. Forward Troy Terry (lower body) is good to return from injury, and defenseman Drew Helleson is also drawing into the lineup.

Impact It was Mintyukov's first point in seven games, and just his sixth (two goals, four assists) in 26 games in 2026. He has always been full of offensive potential, but his game has never taken that leap. Mintyukov has 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) and 64 shots in 60 games this season.

Collects pair of points Mintyukov scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Mintyukov had been limited to just one assist over his first 10 games in January. He broke through with his first multi-point effort since Dec. 1 with this performance.

He's at 14 points, 49 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 46 appearances.

Tickles twine in loss Mintyukov scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Mintyukov has three goals over his last six games, but he's still not an every-game presence in the Ducks' lineup. The 22-year-old has at least done enough to have more security than Drew Helleson and Ian Moore, though all three blueliners player Monday while Radko Gudas (illness) sat out. Mintyukov is up to five goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-1 rating over 34 appearances, mainly in a bottom-four role.
