With injuries to the Ducks top two netminders, Lukas Dostal and Petr Mrazek, the Ducks have recalled Vyacheslav Buteyets from the San Diego Gulls (AHL). The 23-year-old goalie has a 3.72 GAA and .878 SV% in three games with San Diego. He will likely serve at the backup behind Ville Husso in Anaheim.

Buteyets was Anaheim's 2022 sixth-round pick (178th overall) and signed a two-year, entry-level contract on Wednesday. The 21-year-old netminder just finished his third season with Chelmet Chelyabinsk (VHL), and had an impressive .913 SV% and 2.57 GAA.
