Radko Gudas - NHL News & Rumors

Ready to rock Gudas (undisclosed) will return to the lineup against Ottawa on Wednesday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Following a three-game absence with an undisclosed injury, Gudas will return to a third-pairing role alongside Dmitry Kulikov against the Senators. The 36-year-old Gudas hasn't contributed a point in six appearances this season, but he has earned three shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 13 hits.

Targeting return Saturday Gudas (undisclosed) won't be an option versus Vancouver on Thursday, instead looking to Saturday's matchup with Seattle, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Gudas will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury, but at least he has a target return date. With zero points through six games this year, the veteran defenseman is unlikely to be a waiver wire pickup in most leagues once given the all-clear.

Not playing Tuesday Gudas (undisclosed) is day-to-day and won't play against Columbus on Tuesday, per Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.

He hasn't earned a point in six appearances this season, but he has registered three shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 13 hits. Uvis Balinskis will replace Gudas in Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jackets.

Participates on ice for Day 1 of camp Gudas (ankle) was on the ice for Day 1 of training camp Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Gudas was dealing with an injury late in 2025-26 while a member of the Ducks. That didn't stop the Panthers from signing him to a six-year, $9 million contract at the start of free agency. The 36-year-old defenseman has taken a lot of wear and tear with his physical playing style, but he will likely see less ice time in a third-pairing role this year.

Set to remain sidelined Gudas (lower body) is not expected to play in Thursday's Game 6 clash with the Golden Knights, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Gudas has been on the shelf since Game 1 versus the Oilers on April 20 and has appeared in just five of the Ducks' last 28 contests. Considering the veteran blueliner recorded a mere 13 points in 56 regular-season tilts this year, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking on an offensive explosion from him if he returns to the lineup during the playoffs.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Still out for Game 5 Gudas (lower body) will remain sidelined for Game 5 in Vegas on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact According to Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune, Gudas was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, but it remains to be seen if his return to the lineup is on the horizon. The right-shot blueliner missed his ninth straight playoff contest Sunday in Game 4 after being deemed a game-time decision. Since he has been ruled out well in advance of puck drop Tuesday, that may not bode well for Gudas' availability for Game 6 in Anaheim on Thursday.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Gudas (lower body) is not an option for Game 4 versus the Golden Knights on Sunday, per Derek Van Diest of NHL.com.

Impact Gudas is set to miss his ninth straight playoff contest after being labeled a game-time decision earlier Sunday, which suggests he's close to being available. Drew Helleson (undisclosed) is also out for Game 4, so Olen Zellweger and Ian Moore will comprise Anaheim's third pairing. Gudas' next chance to return to game action will be in Game 5 in Vegas on Tuesday.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Gudas (lower body) will be a game-time decision against Vegas on Sunday in Game 4, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gudas was on the third pairing during Sunday's morning skate and could replace Drew Helleson (undisclosed) in Sunday's lineup against the Golden Knights. The 35-year-old Gudas had two goals, 13 points, 63 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 164 hits and 67 PIM across 56 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to miss Friday's game Gudas (lower body) isn't expected to play in Game 3 against Vegas on Friday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Gudas did join the Ducks for the morning skate, but he wasn't part of the expected defensive pairings during the line rushes. He's skating regularly, which is encouraging, and he appears to be day-to-day at this stage. Once Gudas is available, he might replace Drew Helleson on the third pairing.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Gudas (lower body) won't play against Vegas on Wednesday in Game 2, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gudas has resumed skating and should play at some point during Anaheim's second-round series against the Golden Knights. However, it remains unclear when he will return to the lineup. Gudas supplied two goals, 13 points, 63 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and 164 hits in 56 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.
