Unavailable for Thursday Poehling (upper body) is expected to miss Thursday's Game 6 against Vegas, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Poehling had 11 goals and 36 points in 75 regular-season outings in 2025-26. He has also contributed four goals and five points in 11 playoff appearances this year. Poehling's absence might be an opportunity for Jansen Harkins to draw back into the lineup after spending the past two games as a healthy scratch. However, the Ducks are also considering dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. The availability of blueliners Radko Gudas (lower body) and Drew Helleson (undisclosed) will likely influence whether the Ducks go with seven defensemen Thursday.

Tallies opening goal Poehling scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 6.

Impact Poehling, best known for his defensive work, racked up four goals over six games to provide some depth scoring as the Ducks won their first-round series 4-2. He added 12 shots on net, five hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. On a young roster, Poehling's virtually a seasoned veteran at 27 years old, and he plays a critical role even though his work won't always show up in the box score.

Squeaks game-winner over line Poehling scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 4.

Impact Tristan Jarry got a piece of Poehling's shot, but not enough of it. The call on the ice was no goal, but video review was deemed conclusive enough to say the puck was just over the line -- though it was close. That'll go down as one of the biggest goals of Poehling's career to date. He's tallied three times on seven shots, blocked three shots, doled out four hits and posted a plus-2 rating over four outings this postseason. The 27-year-old continues to handle a heavy defensive load, and he's done well to help the Ducks gain a 3-1 lead in the series.

Buries two goals in win Poehling scored twice, once while shorthanded and then into an empty net, in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

Impact Poehling is a defensive center, and he got the job done on both sides of the ice in this game. He gave the Ducks a 4-2 lead with his second-period shortie before helping secure the win with an empty-netter at 18:50 of the third. In the regular season, Poehling had 11 goals and a career-best 36 points over 75 outings, as well as 86 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating. This is his first playoff run, and he's tasked with shutting down the Oilers' top players, so any offense he can add is a bonus.
