Moore notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Moore had steady playing time in early November, but this was just his fifth appearance in the Ducks' last 13 games. He's earned two assists over that span, but it appears he's battling with Drew Helleson and Pavel Mintyukov for third-pairing minutes. Moore has contributed five points, 18 shots on net, 37 blocks, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 20 appearances, which is decent production despite his limited role.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Too many goals get past
Rotowire
Husso made 24 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
The game was tight, but Husso has allowed a lot of goals in his last two starts (0-1-1). He allowed nine goals in that span and at least four snipes in four of his eight starts. Husso will resume his role as backup now that Lukas Dostal has returned from injury (and looked sharp).

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: First points in seven games
Rotowire
Granlund had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
The points were his first in seven games since his return from injury. Granlund's 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 16 games look low-level impressive for streamers, but the harsh reality is that he has a five-point game under his belt this season. And nine of those points have come in just three games. Don't be fooled -- Granlund needs to show a lot more to be wire worthy.
Husso will guard the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Husso's playing time has predictably dropped since Lukas Dostal returned from an upper-body injury. With this being the second half of a back-to-back, Husso will get the nod after Dostal defeated the Rangers on Monday. The Blue Jackets have lost five straight games, going 0-4-1 with 12 goals scored in that span.

Rotowire
Mintyukov scored a goal and blocked four shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
The Ducks had already stretched their lead to 3-1 with an empty-netter, but Mintyukov put one more by Igor Shesterkin in the dying seconds for good measure. Mintyukov was scratched Saturday versus the Devils after a stretch of 10 straight games in the lineup, during which he logged four points. He'll continue to compete with Ian Moore and Drew Helleson for third-pairing minutes as long as the Ducks' blue line is healthy. Mintyukov has eight points, 27 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-1 rating over 29 outings this season.

Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Two helpers in Monday's win
Rotowire
Poehling picked up two assists, one shorthanded, in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
The checking-line center had a hand in the Ducks' first and last goals of the night, setting up Jackson LaCombe for a shortie in the second period before feeding Pavel Mintyukov in the third. It was Poehling's first multi-point performance of the season, and through 26 games he's managed a goal and nine points, which is short of his pace from 2024-25, when he produced a career-high 12 goals and 31 points in 68 contests.

The Ducks never trailed in the game, as the only puck to get past Dostal came late in the second period when an off-balance Matthew Robertson shot from the point deflected off Frank Vatrano and rainbowed over the netminder. Dostal has looked good in two starts since returning from an upper-body injury, allowing four goals on 48 shots, and on the season he's 12-6-1 with a 2.73 GAA and .905 save percentage.

Dostal returned from a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury versus the Devils on Saturday, giving up three goals on 21 shots in a losing effort. The 25-year-old backstop will be looking for his first win since Nov. 22 versus Vegas when he clashes with the Rangers on Monday.
