Fabbri is averaging 16:33 time-on-ice, the most in his career since the 2021-22 season with the Detroit Red Wings, but only has two points (2G / 0A) in 14 games this season. The 29-year-old Fabbri will be out of the lineup for approximately six weeks after undergoing surgery on his meniscus.

After being sidelined for the first part of the season after undergoing an appendectomy, Gibson will return to the crease for the Ducks for the second time in three games. Gibson was tremendous in his season debut last week, saving 38 of 40 shots (.950 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Ducks enter the action on Friday as +130 home underdogs against a Detroit Red Wings club that has won three of their last five (3-2-0).

The Ducks will turn back to Dostal tonight despite a stellar season debut from John Gibson on Sunday. Dostal has struggled of late after a phenomenal start to the season, going winless in his last three starts with an .856 SV%. Despite the rough patch, the 24-year-old netminder still owns a .922 SV% and a 2.73 GAA on the season. He'll need to be at his best on Wednesday with the Ducks being +185 home underdogs against the Golden Knights.

Helleson was the second-round pick, 47th overall, of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old made his NHL debut with the Ducks in the 2022-23 season, playing three games, but has played exclusively in the AHL since.

Harkins played one game with the Ducks earlier this season but has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign as an offensive powerhouse in the AHL. The 27-year-old Harkins has 17 points (5G ./ 12A) in 11 games with the San Diego Gulls (AHL) this season.

McTavish did not play on Sunday, and did not practice on Tuesday, but could still be an option for the Ducks on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 21-year-old McTavish has eight points (2G / 6A) in 13 games this season.

Fabbri is averaging 16:33 time-on-ice, the most in his career since the 2021-22 season with the Detroit Red Wings, but only has two points (2G / 0A) in 14 games this season. The 29-year-old Fabbri will be eligible to return, at the earliest, on November 18th against the Dallas Stars.

Gibson will make his season debut on Sunday after recovering from an appendectomy. The 31-year-old Gibson had a 3.54 GAA and .888 SV% in 46 appearances last season (13-27-2). The Ducks enter the action on Sunday as -116 home favorites against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Gibson underwent an emergency appendectomy on September 25th and is nearing the end of his original 3-6 week timeline. The American netminder has failed to produce a save percentage above .900 in each of the last two seasons and beginning 2024-25 on the Injured Reserve is a tough way to ensure a bounce-back campaign after only 13 wins in 2023-24. Gibson will back up Lukas Dostal in Friday's game against the Wild.

For the fifth straight game, despite a three-game losing skid, the Ducks will turn to Dostal between the pipes. The 24-year-old Dostal has allowed nine combined goals in his last two outings (0-2-0), but has been tremendous for most of the season, boasting an impressive 2.50 GAA and .930 SV% in 10 games (4-4-2), stats that are even more impressive considering the Ducks are averaging only 2.1 goals per game, fewest in the NHL. The Ducks enter action on Friday as +174 home underdogs against the Minnesota Wild.

Urho Vaakanainen will draw into the Ducks' lineup for his second game of the season, replacing Lacombe. The 23-year-old Lacombe, Anaheim's 39th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, is averaging 17:01 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) through six games this season.

Dostal was in the crease in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, allowing four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%), but the Ducks will not stray away from Dostal, starting for the fourth consecutive game. The 24-year-old Dostal has been heroic at times for the Ducks, boasting an impressive 2.22 GAA and .937 SV% through nine contests (4-3-2), totals that are even more impressive when considering the Ducks are averaging only 2.18 goals per game, fewest in the NHL. The Ducks enter the action on Tuesday as sizeable +204 home underdogs against the Vancouver Canucks, owners of a 5-2-3 record.

Luneau was the 53rd overall pick of the Ducks in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old recorded zero points a -5 plus/minus in six games with the Ducks this season.

Johnston will be the odd-man out on Thursday when the Ducks travel to Pittsburgh to face the Penguins. Brett Leason draws into the lineup in his place.
