Brown suffered a dislocated thumb vs. the Flames on Tuesday and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Oskar Lindblom will replace him in the lineup on Thursday.



Tufte was a first-round pick (No.25 overall) in 2016 and is expected to make his NHL debut vs. the Flyers on Saturday. The 6-foot-6, 220 lbs. winger has scored five goals with two assists (seven points) in 10 AHL games this season.












This surgery will sideline Jones until at least the end of February, which means he could be back when the NHL returns from the Olympic break. The Ducks have 29 games after that break.

Jones has been sent back to Anaheim, suggesting that his injury is relatively serious. With Jones out, Derek Grant will remain in the Ducks lineup on Thursday.
