Status Updates Ahead of Game
Defenseman Hunter Brzustewicz is expected to return to the lineup, replacing Brayden Pachal after previously being a healthy scratch. The Calgary Flames recently witnessed the recall of forward Aydar Suniev from the American Hockey League, although he is not anticipated to play in this game.
The Ducks opted not to conduct a morning skate following their recent 6-2 defeat against the St. Louis Blues. Ville Husso is slated to take the starting position in goal, succeeding Lukas Dostal, who faced 23 shots against St. Louis. Tyson Hinds may debut in the NHL after being recalled from the San Diego Gulls.
Forward Cutter Gauthier’s participation is uncertain as he has missed the previous two games, according to Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville.
