Hamonic, who has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, will replace Jake Sanderson (lower-body). Hamonic comes in with five points (2G / 3A) in 40 games this season.

Kane has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Saturday vs. the Canucks. Kane has picked up 16 points (7G / 9A) in 19 games since signing with the Red Wings. He is expected to skate with JT Compher and David Perron.

Head coach Greg Cronin did not have much of an update on Gibson's status post-game, only saying that he "cramped up or something.” Consider Gibson questionable for Tuesday's game in Montreal.

The Ducks make their return to the ice from the All-Star break on Friday night and will turn to John Gibson between the pipes. Gibson last played on January 31st, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. The 30-year-old Gibson has a tough task at hand as the Ducks are significant +236 road underdogs against a high-scoring Edmonton Oilers club that lost for the first time in 16 games on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Watson will play for the first time since January 21st as head coach Jon Cooper looks to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of Tampa's back-to-back. Watson has two goals and one assist in 26 games this season.

Hamonic has been out since January 21st due to an upper-body injury and is healthy and ready to go Saturday vs. Toronto. The 33-year-old veteran defenseman has done little to contribute offensively this season, with two goals, five points, 38 PIMs, and 39 SOG through 40 games before his injury.

Chiarot has not played since January 19th, missing five games with an upper-body injury, but could return to the lineup as soon as Saturday. Chiarot has 12 points (3G / 9A), 84 hits, and 93 blocks in 45 games this season and will likely replace Justin Holl when he is ready to return.

Kane has not played since January 14th but appears ready to return to the Red Wings lineup on Saturday. The 35-year-old Kane has been a major contributor in the Red Wings offence, scoring 16 points (7G / 9A) and tallying 63 shots in 19 games.

Gibson will start for the third time in the last four games when the Ducks face off against the San Jose Sharks. Gibson allowed four goals on 44 shots (.909 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. The 30-year-old netminder has lost three of his last four (1-2-1), posting a .908 SV%. The Ducks enter action as -177 home favourites against a Sharks team that played last night and defeated the Seattle Kraken 2-0.

Kane was on the ice for Tuesday's practice but the team has elected to keep him out until after the All-Star break. Expect him to return to the lineup next Saturday vs. the Canucks. Kane has picked up seven goals and nine assists (16 points) in 19 games since joining the Red Wings.

Hamonic has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but participated in Monday's morning skate in a non-contact jersey. He won't play Monday vs. the Predators but he could shed the non-contact jersey and be available for Wednesday's game in Detroit.

Talbot will likely start his second straight game after serving as the backup in the previous three. Talbot has failed to win a game since December, losing nine straight (0-6-3), posting an ugly .887 SV%. The Kings' only two wins in the last month have been with David Rittich between the pipes. As such, Talbot and the Kings are +123 road underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche squad riding a two-game winning streak.

The Ducks will turn to Gibson for the 30th time this season when they travel to Dallas on Thursday. Gibson was solid his last time out, stopping 28 of the 30 shots he faced enroute to a 4-2 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday. The effort helped raise his SV% to an even .900 on the year. He'll draw a much tougher assignment on Thursday, however, and may have a hard time avoiding a league-leading 20th loss of the season with the Ducks being +260 underdogs in Dallas.

Compher did not participate in practice on Wednesday due to an illness but is good to go for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Compher recorded a late tally in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars and has three points (2G / 1A) during a three-game point streak.
