Trouba notched two assists and added two PIM in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Trouba has earned two goals and seven assists over his last 10 outings. The 32-year-old blueliner had a hand in third-period tallies by Leo Carlsson and Chris Kreider in this contest. Trouba is up to 30 points, 126 shots on net, 108 hits, 113 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 61 games this season. He's functioned as the Ducks' top right-shot blueliner this season, but those duties could go to John Carlson (lower body) after he was acquired from the Capitals in a trade.

Gudas scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Gudas had gone 39 games without a goal, and he had just one helper over his previous 11 contests. The 35-year-old blueliner rarely adds much offense, but he was able to get a puck through at 11:56 of the first period, tying this game at 2-2. The defenseman is up to 12 points, 57 shots on net, 153 hits, 81 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 49 appearances. Gudas will likely play regularly on the third pairing once John Carlson (lower body) makes his Ducks debut.

LaCombe scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

LaCombe had gone 27 games without a goal prior to his second-period tally Friday.

The 25-year-old blueliner is up to seven goals, 36 assists, 14 power-play points, 124 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 55 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 62 appearances. LaCombe is likely to remain the Ducks' top overall blueliner, but he may lose some power-play minutes to John Carlson (lower body), who was traded from the Capitals prior to Friday's deadline.

Carlsson scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Carlsson has gotten on the scoresheet in five of his last six games, totaling three goals and five helpers in that span. The 21-year-old center has continued to play in a top-line role after his absence due to a thigh injury. He's now at a career-high 21 goals in addition to 31 assists, 127 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 50 appearances this season.

Gauthier scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Gauthier has six goals and an assist over four contests in March. He struck early Friday, opening the scoring just 39 seconds into the game. The 22-year-old winger is looking like a real star with 32 goals, 57 points, 236 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-6 rating over 61 appearances this season. He's on track to compete for a 40-goal campaign and has an outside chance to hit 80 points as well.

Kreider had a helper in each period and also scored with 42 seconds left in regulation to force overtime.

Dostal gave up five goals for the third time in his last five outings, but he escaped with a win. The Ducks blew a 4-2 lead in the third period, but Chris Kreider forced overtime. Dostal's recent play hasn't inspired a lot of confidence, but he's still getting results with six wins in his last seven outings. He's up to 25-14-2 on the season with a 3.06 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 43 appearances. The Ducks have a favorable matchup versus the Blues on Sunday to wrap up this homestand.

This performance ended an 18-game goal drought, in which he had just two assists. Bradley has a poor 11 points through 34 appearances in his second AHL campaign. The 24-year-old's lack of offense this season suggests he'll have a tough time carving out a regular role at the NHL level.
