Anaheim's campaign is over, so Nesterenko will close the books on the NHL season with four goals and six points across 20 outings with the Ducks. He can still help out San Diego in the short term -- Nesterenko has 13 goals and 34 points in 48 appearances with the minor-league club in 2024-25 -- but the Gulls won't be making the playoffs either.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Heads to AHL
Rotowire
Colangelo was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Thursday.
The Ducks' season is over, so that's why Colangelo is heading to the minors. He had 10 goals, 12 points, 41 shots and 67 hits over 32 outings with Anaheim in 2024-25. The 23-year-old has also contributed 19 goals and 35 points across 38 appearances with San Diego this season.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Collects first NHL assist
Rotowire
Moore posted an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.
This was Moore's first point in three NHL games. The defenseman added four shots on net, a hit, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. Moore signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks last Saturday, and playing this season burned the first year off that deal. He'll be in the mix for a spot on the blue line during training camp ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Tallies lone goal in overtime loss
Rotowire
Terry scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.
Terry ended up earning just four points over nine contests in April. The 27-year-old was able to produce 21 goals, 34 assists, 188 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in a career-high 77 games played in 2024-25. He's been a big part of the Ducks' offense for a few years, but he may slip into more of a middle-six, supporting role as more prospects establish themselves at the NHL level in the coming years.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Bombarded by Jets in OT loss
Rotowire
Husso turned aside 42 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.
The 30-year-old netminder did everything he could to steal a win for the Ducks in their regular-season finale, but Mark Scheifele snapped a puck past him 71 seconds into OT to end Anaheim's campaign. After a rough beginning to the season as part of the goaltending jumble in Detroit, Husso looked better in four late-season outings for Anaheim, going 1-1-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .925 save percentage. He'll try to find a backup job as a free agent this offseason.
Gibson (lower body) won't suit up versus the Jets on Wednesday.
Gibson will miss his seventh straight game to close out the season. The oft-injured netminder is under contract for another two years at a $6.4 million cap hit. He also has a 10-team no-trade list, but his name has come up in rumors for years, and those could surface again during the offseason following the emergence of Lukas Dostal as a viable No. 1 goalie in 2024-25.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Starting season finale
Rotowire
Husso will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Wednesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Husso is 1-0-1 with eight goals allowed on 90 shots over three games with the Ducks. The 30-year-old will start in the second half of a back-to-back. Husso will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Zegras notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Zegras had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests. The 24-year-old has earned three goals and three assists over eight outings in April as he continues to put together a strong finish to the campaign. Overall, he's at 12 goals, 20 helpers, 96 shots on net, 47 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 56 appearances.

Ducks' Mason McTavish: Grabs helper
Rotowire
McTavish logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
McTavish set up a Sam Colangelo tally in the third period. The 22-year-old McTavish earned his 30th assist of the season on the play, extending his career high in the category. He's at 52 points, 175 shots on net, 68 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 75 appearances with one game left on the Ducks' schedule. He's been good with seven points over eight outings in April.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Colangelo scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Colangelo has scored in consecutive games as he heats up again toward the end of the campaign. The 23-year-old is at 10 goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 66 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 31 appearances. He may be reassigned to AHL San Diego after Wednesday's game versus the Jets, but the Gulls aren't in the AHL playoffs, so he won't be getting much more playing time this season.

Ducks' Alex Killorn: Tallies in overtime loss
Rotowire
Killorn scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Killorn extended his point streak to four games with his first-period tally. The goal snapped an eight-game stretch without scoring for the 35-year-old forward. He's up to 19 goals and 37 points in 81 appearances this season, and he's added 134 shots on net, 75 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-12 rating.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Takes overtime loss
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 37 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Dostal came within 22 seconds of playing a potential spoiler for the Wild, but he couldn't quite get this game to the finish line. He then ended up with the loss at 4:42 of overtime when Matt Boldy completed Minnesota's comeback. Dostal is 1-3-1 over his last five outings with 20 goals allowed in that span. He moved to 23-23-7 on the year while adding a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 54 appearances. This was likely Dostal's last start of 2024-25 -- Ville Husso will probably get the nod Wednesday in Winnipeg to close out the campaign.
Gibson (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Wild.
It's looking less likely that Gibson will be able to return to the crease in 2024-25. This will be his sixth straight absence, and the Ducks' season finale is Wednesday in Winnipeg. Lukas Dostal will start Tuesday, and if Gibson remains out, look for Ville Husso to get the nod Wednesday.

Ducks' Konnor Smith: Inks entry-level deal
Rotowire
Smith signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Anaheim on Tuesday.
Smith's deal won't start until next year, so the blueliner will link up with AHL San Diego on an amateur tryout for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. In 40 games split between OHL Brampton and Owen Sound this part year, the 20-year-old blueliner garnered 10 goals and 16 helpers. While he is unlikely to be a Norris Trophy candidate in the future, Smith should still offer some decent offensive upside if he can work his way up to the NHL in a year or two.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Exits ice first
Rotowire
Dostal was the first netminder off at the morning skate, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com, which indicates he'll tend the road the twine Tuesday in Minnesota.
Dostal has struggled in back-to-back losses to the Kings and the Avalanche, allowing a total of nine goals on 53 shots (.830 save percentage). The 24-year-old owns a 23-23-6 record, 3.11 GAA and .902 save percentage over 53 appearances in 2024-25. The Wild have netted 17 goals over their last five games, a span in which they are 3-2-0.
Washe signed a one-year entry-level contract with the Ducks on Monday.
Fresh off of captaining Western Michigan University to the school's first-ever national championship, Washe will join the Ducks on his entry-level contract that runs through just the end of this season. The 23-year-old scored 16 goals and added 22 assists with a plus-22 rating with the Broncos in his final collegiate season. However, the trait that could help the Ducks the most is his prowess on faceoffs, where he won an NCAA-leading 63.1 percent of draws. Anaheim is currently the worst faceoff team in the NHL (44.5 percent).
