PREGAME NOTES
Mike Reilly will return from COVID protocols and slot back into the lineup next to Brandon Carlo, while Matt Grzelcyk is ruled out for Monday’s game due to an upper-body injury. Grzelcyk is day-to-day moving forward.
Tuukka Rask will get the start in net for the second straight game.
The Ducks should be getting some reinforcements back in the lineup on Monday, as leading goal scorer Troy Terry and veteran defenseman Cam Fowler are expected to return from COVID protocols.
While Anaheim has stood as one of the league’s top surprises this season, they have cooled off as of late — posting a record of 3-7-1 since the Christmas break.
