| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Getzlaf  ActiveRyan Getzlaf (illness) is expected to play Sunday night. Getzlaf was on the ice with his regular linemates during the morning skate and feels ready to get back from a one-game absence due to an illness. "It was just about obviously keeping food down and stuff yesterday," he said. "Luckily it was only kind of a 24-hour thing. I had a rough day. By yesterday, I had already stopped and I was able to eat and go through my normal day of preparations." Getzlaf was not able to play Friday because of a stomach flu. Mar 25 |
| 2 | Ryan Kesler ActiveRyan Kesler took part in Wednesday's morning skate. That's just a FYI due to the fact that Kesler missed Tuesday's practice. He was still expected to play on Wednesday regardless, but the fact that he skated this morning helps reinforce that. Apr 18 |
| 3 | Adam Henrique ActiveAdam Henrique agreed that the Ducks' 8-1 loss to San Jose in Game 3 was the lowest point he's experienced in his playoffs career. That loss put Anaheim down 3-0 in the series, so in order to stay afloat, the Ducks have no choice but to try and put that game behind them and come out strong in Game 4 Wednesday night. "Today’s a new day to move forward," Henrique said on Tuesday. "It’s just as simple as that. You have to put it behind us and look forward to tomorrow and finding a way to get that first one under our belt." He's among the players that the Ducks could use more from going forward. Henrique has no points and a minus-two rating in three postseason games. Apr 18 |
| 4 | Chris Kelly ActiveChris Kelly has reportedly agreed to a contract with the Anaheim Ducks for the remainder of the 2017-18 season. Kelly's new deal is worth a pro-rated $1.25 million plus bonuses. Kelly earned a bronze medal with Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics. He also picked up two assists in 16 games with the AHL's Belleville Senators this year. Feb 25 |
| 5 | Antoine Vermette ActiveAntoine Vermette will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Vermette has eight goals and eight assists in 63 games this season. This is the fifth game in a row that he'll watch from the press box. Chris Kelly, Troy Terry and Korbinian Holzer are also expected to serve as healthy scratches in this one. Apr 4 |
| 6 | Derek Grant ActiveDerek Grant found the back of the net in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Grant was parked in front and redirected Hampus Lindholm point shot to open the scoring in the first period. In took Grant five NHL seasons but he has finally scored in the NHL, and he now has 11 on the year with 23 points in 59 games this season. Nick Ritchie also scored in the loss. Mar 23 |
| LW | 1 | Rickard Rakell ActiveRickard Rakell scored the Ducks' only goal in their 8-1 loss to San Jose in Game 3 on Monday. At the time, it tied the contest at 1-1 in the first period, but obviously things got away from the Ducks after that. Brandon Montour and Ryan Getzlaf assisted on the marker. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Nick Ritchie ActiveNick Ritchie scored the game-tying goal in Wednesday's game against the Wild while adding a plus-2 rating with three hits. Ritchie is a physical presence, ranking just outside the Top 10 in hits with 220 through 74 games. Unlike a lot of tough guys, though, he has also shown a scorer's touch, posting a solid 10 goals with 27 points and a plus-3 rating. He'll be a player to watch for DFS purposes heading into the postseason. Apr 5 |
| 3 | Jason Chimera ActiveJason Chimera may be in the lineup Monday night for Game 3 against San Jose. Coach Randy Carlyle would not confirm if lineup changes were coming, but Chimera could replace Antoine Vermette on the fourth line. Chimera has been scratched for the last three games, including two playoff contests. Apr 16 |
| 4 | Andrew Cogliano ActiveAndrew Cogliano described being swept by San Jose in the first round of the playoffs as "a wake-up call for this team." With their season now over, the Ducks players obviously will have to wait months before they can attempt to mount their response, but the front office needs to weigh is they should view this as a wake-up call as well. Certainly being swept from the playoffs is embarrassing, but it also has to be remembered that Anaheim got to the Western Conference Final in 2017, so making dramatic trades might be an overreaction. The Ducks were also missing one of their top defenseman in Cam Fowler for the first round, which didn't do them any favors either. Apr 19 |
| 5 | Nicolas Kerdiles ActiveNicolas Kerdiles has been recalled by Anaheim. Kerdiles is up with the Ducks as insurance because some players are dealing with injuries. However, it's unclear if he will play Tuesday night versus Buffalo. Kerdiles has eight goals and 19 points in 23 games with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL this season. He hasn't earned a point in three career matches with the Ducks, which includes two appearances in 2017-18. Feb 6 |
| RW | 1 | Corey Perry ActiveCorey Perry saw some action on the third line Saturday. The Ducks have scored only two goals in two games so coach Randy Carlyle moved Ondrej Kase onto the top line with Ryan Getzlaf and Rickard Rakell and moved Perry down. It has been a couple of tough years for Perry who shows glimpses of his past greatness but those times are few and far between. He is a fringe fantasy player at this stage of his career. Apr 16 |
| 2 | Jakob Silfverberg ActiveJakob Silfverberg scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. It took Silfverberg just 40 seconds to score on the game's first shot and beat Martin Jones. The Swedish forward saw his regular-season numbers dip from last season but has traditionally been a great playoff performer with 44 points in 67 career post-season games. The Ducks will need to figure things out in a hurry because they will be heading to San Jose staring down a 2-0 hole. Apr 15 |
| 3 | J.T. Brown ActiveJ.T. Brown will be a healthy scratch in Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. This will be the sixth consecutive game he watches from the press box. Brown has two goals and five assists in 43 games this season. Ryan Getzlaf (flu) and Josh Manson (injured) will also miss the game. Andy Welinski will also serve as a healthy scratch. Mar 23 |
| 4 | Patrick Eaves  I.L.Patrick Eaves will miss the rest of the 2017-18 campaign due to Gullain-Barre Syndrome. It sounds like that means Eaves will miss the playoffs in addition to what little is left of the regular season. He was last able to play on Oct. 13. He had 32 goals and 51 points in 79 contests in 2017-18. Apr 5 |
| 5 | Ondrej Kase ActiveOndrej Kase should provide the Ducks with some valuable secondary scoring in the playoffs. Kase managed to score 20 goals in 2017-18 despite averaging a modest 13:55 minutes per game. The 22-year-old has been a pleasant surprise this season, especially given the fact that he was taken with the 205th overall pick of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. So far, he's the only player from that year's seventh round to have made it to the NHL. Apr 12 |
| D | 1 | Cam Fowler  SidelinedCam Fowler (shoulder) will not travel with the team to San Jose. Fowler suffered a shoulder injury on Apr. 1 against Colorado and he was given a two-to-six week timetable for a return. He hasn't been back on the ice for practices yet. Apr 15 |
| 2 | Hampus Lindholm ActiveHampus Lindholm has been one of the few bright spots for the Anaheim Ducks in the playoffs. The Ducks are down 2-0 to the Sharks with the series heading to San Jose for Games 3 and 4 and Lindholm has been outstanding at both ends of the ice. "It’s about growing (into) where you’re a dominating force all the time," Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said. "It’s about doing the little things differently and making sure he’s leading that back end all the time. He’s their leader back there right now. And he’s been good for us all year and he’s got to continue to do that." Make sure you get him as a three-four defenseman next season. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Josh Manson ActiveJosh Manson racked up two assists with a plus-1 rating, four blocked shots and four hits in Wednesday's victory against Minnesota. Manson was flying all over the ice and making his presence felt. The Illinois native entered the game with just one goal and one assist over his past 10 games, so the multi-hit performance was a surprise. The hits and the blocked shots were less of a shock, as that's his calling card. He is now up to 172 hits and 97 blocked shots through 78 games with a respectable six goals and 34 points. Apr 5 |
| 4 | Kevin Bieksa ActiveKevin Bieksa (hand) will be in the lineup for Game 2 tonight. Bieksa opted for surgery to fix a troublesome hand that has bothered him because of scar tissue. He has missed the last 13 games but will draw in for Andy Welinski tonight. Apr 14 |
| 5 | Brandon Montour ActiveBrandon Montour scored a pair of goals with a plus-1 rating with four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a hit Montour snapped a 49-game goal drought in style with the two markers, his first time lighting the lamp since Nov. 19. That was also the last time he notched a game-winning goal, and in each of the past four games he has scored a goal they have won the contest. He still doesn't contribute consistently enough to trust outside of deeper fantasy pools, however. Mar 15 |
| 6 | Marcus Pettersson ActiveMarcus Pettersson could see more minutes if Josh Manson misses any action. Manson was injured Sunday and is questionable at best for Wednesday's tilt. Pettersson saw a season-high 15:18 Sunday but coach Randy Carlyle wants to make sure he is not exposed to any difficult situations at this early stage of his career. "We don’t want to put anybody in a situation that we feel would be too much or an overload for any of them," Carlyle said. "So we’ll garner and take a look at his body of work. If he continues to show growth, then he’ll get more minutes. If he stumbles, then we’ll pull the minutes back. That’s the way it is." Pettersson has a goal and an assist in 13 games thus far. Mar 21 |
| 7 | Jacob Larsson ActiveJacob Larsson has been recalled by Anaheim. Larsson didn't see any NHL action during the 2017-18 campaign, but he played in four games with the Ducks in 2016-17. He shouldn't be expected to play in Game 4 on Wednesday night. Apr 17 |
| 8 | Andrew Welinski ActiveAndrew Welinski could be back in the lineup for Game 3 on Monday night. Welinski made his NHL playoff debut in Game 1 and then he was scratched Saturday night. He is projected to replace Kevin Bieksa and play alongside Marcus Pettersson on the third pairing. Apr 16 |
| G | 1 | John Gibson ActiveJohn Gibson allowed two goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. It was the first time all series that Gibson held the Sharks to under three goals, but it wasn't enough to force a fifth game. The Ducks will now have a long offseason to think about what went wrong against their first-round opponent. Gibson finished the playoffs with an 0-4 record, a 3.60 goals-against-average and a .889 save percentage. It was a solid year for him, overall, but that doesn't mean much now that his team was swept in the opening round. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Ryan Miller ActiveRyan Miller turned aside all 31 shots he faced during Saturday's 3-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes. Miller finished the regular season on an extremely positive note. Not only did he pick up a clean sheet in his last game, he's also rattled off four consecutive victories. It'll be interesting to see how much action the veteran will get once the playoffs begin. John Gibson has had a hard time staying healthy, so there's a decent chance that Miller could be asked to shoulder the load as soon as Game 1 of the first round. Miller ends the year with a 12-6-6 record, a 2.35 goals-against-average and a .928 save percentage. Apr 7 |
| 3 | Reto Berra ActiveReto Berra has been summoned from the minors. San Jose scored eight goals in Game 3, but Berra is likely just with the Ducks as the third goaltender because San Diego's AHL season is over. Apr 17 |
