The Ducks are coming off a dominant 6-2 win over the Boston Bruins, where Gibson saved 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%).

The Ducks enter Friday's contest as +131 home underdogs against a Rangers club that has lost four of their last five (1-4-0) and is desperately trying to stay within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Leason will be the odd-man out when the Ducks host the Bruins on Wednesday. Sam Colangelo (upper-body) will draw back into the lineup in his place.

With Sam Colangelo (upper body) returning to the lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins, Leason will be a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Leason is averaging 13:09 time-on-ice and has 17 points (5G / 12A) in 59 games this season.

Colangelo has not played since March 12th due to an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 11:39 time-on-ice and has seven points (6G / 1A) in 20 games this season.

He has a 2.75 GAA and .912 SV% in 27 appearances this season (10-10-2). The Ducks enter Wednesday's contest as -126 home favorites against a Bruins club that outscored 30-11 during a six-game losing skid.

Kylington is yet to appear in a game since being acquired from the Islanders for future considerations on March 7th. Kylington will slot in for Nikita Nesterenko (undisclosed), as the Ducks will opt to dress seven defenceman on Thursday.

Nesterenko showed no signs of an injury in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, scoring a goal in 13:08 time-on-ice, but he will miss Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators. The 23-year-old Nesterenko is averaging 10:28 time-on-ice and has four points (3G / 1A) in 10 games this season.

Husso was sent down to create room on the roster for John Gibson's return from a lower-body injury. Husso has an 1-6-2 record and an .874 SV% in 11 games split between the Ducks and Red Wings this season.

Nesterenko showed no signs of an injury in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, scoring a goal in 13:08 time-on-ice, but his status for Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators is up in the air. The 23-year-old Nesterenko is averaging 10:28 time-on-ice and has four points (3G / 1A) in 10 games this season.

Gibson (lower body) has not played since March 5th, when he allowed two goals on 19 shots (.905 SV%) in an eventual 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, but he will return to the crease on Thursday against the Nashville Predators. The 31-year-old Gibson has a 2.82 GAA and .909 SV% in 26 appearances this season (9-10-2). The Ducks enter Thursday's contest as +149 road underdogs against a Predators squad outscored 7-2 during a three-game losing skid (0-2-1).

Gibson has not played since March 5th due to a lower-body injury but was a game-time decision on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. Ville Husso will continue to serve as the Ducks backup in Gibson's absence.

The Ducks are coming off a one-sided 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues, where Dostal allowed five goals on 14 shots (.643 SV%), but he will get the opportunity to redeem himself between the pipes on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 24-year-old Czech goalie has a 2.94 GAA and .908 SV% in 43 games this season (20-18-5). The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable +286 road underdogs against a Stars team they defeated 2-1 last month.

Gibson has not played since March 5th due to a lower-body injury but could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. If Gibson is ready to return, he will serve as the backup to Lukas Dostal.
