20 HOURS AGO • NHL.COM

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.

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.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Game 1 Gudas (lower body) will not play in Monday's Game 1 against the Golden Knights, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact While Gudas has made progress in practice towards a return, he'll miss the opening clash of Anaheim's second-round matchup. He has appeared in just one postseason game for the Ducks and has been in and out of the team's lineup since mid-March. When healthy, the 35-year-old veteran has played a big role defensively with 164 hits and 88blocked shots across 56 regular-season appearances. His next chance to return to Anaheim's defensive core is Game 2 on Wednesday.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Monday Gudas (lower body) could return to the lineup ahead of Game 1 versus Vegas on Monday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Gudas has appeared in just two of the Ducks' last 14 games due to injuries, and could even be a healthy scratch if given the all-clear ahead of Game 1. In those appearances, the defenseman failed to register a point while dishing out six hits. Tyson Hinds would be the most likely player dropped from the lineup if Gudas suits up in Game 1.

Impact Gudas hasn't been in the lineup since April 20 due to the injury. He had two goals, 13 points, 67 PIM and 164 hits in 56 regular-season outings. Based on the framing of Gudas' return as being possible at some point during the series, it seems him playing in Game 1 isn't expected. When Gudas is available, Tyson Hinds might be the blueliner to exit the lineup.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Game 6 Gudas (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the Oilers, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Gudas continues to deal with a lower-body injury, and he'll remain sidelined for a fifth consecutive game Thursday. He wasn't on the ice for Thursday's morning skate, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for a potential Game 7 or second-round series.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play in Edmonton Gudas (lower body) is expected to remain sidelined for Game 5 in Edmonton on Tuesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Head coach Joel Quenneville relayed to the media that were unlikely to be any lineup changes Tuesday, so Gudas is set to miss his fourth consecutive game after playing in the series opener. The right-shot blueliner wasn't present at the morning skate, and it's unclear how he is progressing in his recovery. If the Oilers stave off elimination in Game 5, the series will shift back to Anaheim for Game 6 on Thursday.
