Other players include Cutter Gauthier, who played with a fracture but has been cleared, Ryan Poehling, who suffered a concussion, and Pavel Mintyukov, who is recovering from an MCL sprain. Radko Gudas dealt with an ankle sprain during the postseason, while Drew Helleson missed games due to a groin injury.

By the Numbers

  • Cutter Gauthier: 41 goals and 28 assists (69 points) in 78 games this season.
Yes, But

While the updates provide clarity on player conditions, the long-term impact of these injuries on the Ducks' roster and performance remains uncertain, especially with key players heading into free agency.

State of Play
  • Troy Terry is set for offseason surgery, which may affect his recovery timeline.
  • Gauthier's breakout performance puts him in a strong position for a lucrative contract as a restricted free agent.
What's Next

The Ducks will focus on rehabilitation for their injured players as they prepare for the offseason, with some players eligible for free agency, impacting team dynamics moving forward.

Bottom Line

The Ducks must navigate the aftermath of these injuries while also considering the implications of free agency, as they aim to strengthen their roster for the next season.
