Ducks' Jeff Malott: Nets goal in team debut
Malott scored a goal and added five hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Malott spent the last two seasons with the Kings, but he took his talents to Orange County in the offseason. The 30-year-old forward offers more upside in banger leagues -- he had 166 hits and 55 PIM over 58 regular-season games last year, compared to just nine points. With the Ducks, he's started in a fourth-line role, and it's unlikely he sees much more than that at any point in 2026-27.

Ducks' Alex Killorn: Tallies in Friday's win
Killorn scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Killorn opened the year in a second-line role, and he's expected to see ice time in all situations. The forward was limited to 33 points in 82 regular-season games last year, his lowest total in a campaign where he's made at least 60 appearances. At 37 years old, it'd be tough to expect a big bounce-back this year. Killorn can still chip in enough all-around production to help in deep fantasy formats, but he could be at risk of getting dropped down to the third line at some point in 2026-27.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Beats buzzer in first period
Sennecke scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Sennecke's goal opened the scoring late in the first period. The 20-year-old winger burst onto the scene with 23 goals, 37 assists, 197 shots, 97 hits and 62 PIM over 82 regular-season outings last year. With a firm spot in the top six and a power-play role, Sennecke's evolution into a premier power forward is likely to continue this year. The only thing left to wonder is how high his ceiling will ultimately be.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: One of each Friday
Carlsson scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
The $90 million man was the only Duck with a multi-point effort Friday. Carlsson's new contract means expectations have skyrocketed, but after posting 29 goals and 38 assists over 70 regular-season games last year, he should be able to find another level on offense. Carlsson is likely to be unleashed in full as an all-situations forward this year, and while it may take some time for him to live up to the number on his paycheck, he's more than good enough to help a fantasy roster.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Holds off Golden Knights.
Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Dostal kept Vegas off the board for two periods, but last year's runners-up didn't go down without a fight, scoring thrice in the third. That's likely a product of a very young blue line, and more generally an inexperienced roster. Dostal is capable of handling a starter's workload, and it'll be up to him to provide a calming presence in goal to build his defense's confidence. The Ducks' next game is Sunday at home versus the Panthers, which will provide another tough test early in the campaign.

Ducks' A.J. Greer: Set to play Friday
Greer (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Friday versus the Golden Knights, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Greer battled the upper-body injury during preseason, but he's good to go for the Ducks' season opener. He'll get a golden assignment Friday, playing alongside Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier on the top line at even strength. It's unclear if he'll stick in that spot, but he'll have some extra appeal as long as he's commanding top-six usage. Greer broke out to the tune of 32 points in 78 regular-season games with the Panthers last year, but he also shot 16.3 percent, which raises the risk of regression.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Slated to face Vegas
Dostal is expected to start on the road against Vegas on Friday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Dostal had a 30-20-4 record, 3.10 GAA and .888 save percentage in 56 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. He's set to be the Ducks' No. 1 option this campaign, while Ville Husso is slated to be the backup option. Dostal and the Ducks will be looking for a little revenge after Vegas ended Anaheim's playoff run in the 2026 second-round series. Dostal had a 3.21 GAA and an .884 save percentage across six outings in that series.

Ducks' Tristan Luneau: Lands long-term extension
Luneau agreed to a six-year, $43.2 million contract extension with the Ducks on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Luneau has made just 14 regular-season appearances at the NHL level, recording two goals, two assists, 15 hits, 14 blocked shots and six PIM while averaging 16:51 of ice time. He spent most of last year at AHL San Diego, where he generated 10 goals, 31 assists and 29 PIM across 70 regular-season appearances. The 22-year-old should see a more regular role with Anaheim during the 2026-27 campaign and will have long-term stability with the organization.

Ducks' A.J. Greer: Takes contact
Greer (upper body) took contact during Wednesday's practice, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Greer might be an option for Friday's game in Vegas, but that hasn't been confirmed. If he does play, then he'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity. Frank Vatrano will probably serve as a healthy scratch if Greer ends up being available versus the Golden Knights.

Ducks' Roger McQueen: Heads to AHL
McQueen was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.
McQueen had 11 goals and 27 points in 36 outings with Providence College as a freshman in 2025-26. He also had a goal and three points in seven AHL regular-season appearances with San Diego last year. Although it seems McQueen will begin the campaign in the minors, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a chance to play with Anaheim later in the season.

Ducks' Noah Warren: Called up Wednesday
Warren was called up from AHL San Diego on Wednesday.
Warren had two goals, 12 points and 26 PIM in 61 AHL regular-season appearances with San Diego in 2025-26. Anaheim summoned Warren, along with defensemen Travis Mitchell and Tristan Luneau, because Drew Helleson (lower body) and Ian Moore (lower body) are on injured reserve. It wouldn't be surprising if Warren was a healthy scratch as the Ducks' seventh defenseman for Friday's game in Vegas.

Ducks' Travis Mitchell: Up from minors
Mitchell was called up from AHL San Diego on Wednesday.
Although Mitchell successfully cleared waivers, it seems he won't be in the minors when Anaheim opens the 2026-27 campaign in Vegas on Friday. The 26-year-old had a goal, 17 points and 87 PIM in 58 regular-season outings with AHL Bridgeport in 2025-26. He also recorded a goal and six PIM in nine NHL regular-season appearances with the Islanders last year. Mitchell might be part of the third pairing versus Vegas.

Ducks' Tristan Luneau: Promoted Wednesday
Luneau was summoned from AHL San Diego on Wednesday.
Luneau was sent to the minors Tuesday in what might have been simply a paper move. The 22-year-old blueliner had 10 goals and 41 points in 70 AHL regular-season appearances with San Diego in 2025-26. Luneau might play against Vegas on Friday as part of Anaheim's third pairing.

Ducks' Cruz Lucius: Sent down Wednesday
Lucius was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.
Lucius was a possibility to make the Opening Night roster, but an injury to Drew Helleson (lower body) may have forced the Ducks to shuffle the deck. In 36 games for Arizona State University last year, the 22-year-old Lucius notched 15 goals and 31 assists. If he can show that kind of scoring touch in the minors, he could earn a call-up sooner rather than later.

Ducks' Drew Helleson: Lands on injured reserve
Helleson was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Helleson should be expected to miss at least the next two games, though it certainly could be longer. In 60 regular-season tilts last year, the 25-year-old blueliner notched two goals and 13 assists. If he can avoid an extended stint on the shelf, Helleson could reach the 20-point threshold for the first time in his career.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Moves to LTIR
Terry (hip) was moved from the non-roster list to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Terry isn't expected to be back until mid-November at the earliest, so this transfer doesn't impact his timetable. He had 19 goals and 57 points in 61 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Terry should occupy a top-six role and play on the first power-play unit once he's healthy.

Ducks' Tristan Luneau: Sent to AHL
Luneau was assigned to AHL San Diego on Tuesday.
The Ducks recalled forward Cruz Lucius from the minors in a corresponding move. It wouldn't be surprising if the team change for both players is temporary. Assuming Drew Helleson (lower body) is ready for Friday's season opener against Vegas. Anaheim still needs at least one more healthy blueliner because Ian Moore's (lower body) is unavailable.

Ducks' Cruz Lucius: Added to NHL roster
Lucius was called up from AHL San Diego on Tuesday, per the AHL's official site.
This is likely to be a paper transaction, as is the demotion of Tristan Luneau in a corresponding move. Lucius' cap hit is $1.05 million, getting the Ducks closer to the salary cap for a better potential cap benefit if Troy Terry (hip) is transferred to long-term injured reserve. Expect another round of transactions in the coming days to swap Lucius and Luneau once again.
