NHL Player News

Carlson picked up two assists in a 5-4 win over Nashville on Thursday.

It was Carlson's fifth career 60-point season (14 goals, 46 assists). He, Jakob Chychrun and Moritz Seider finished in a tie for 11th in NHL scoring from the blue line. Carlson is in rare air for defenders with so many 60-point campaigns -- the only active defensemen with more are Erik Karlsson (eight) and Brent Burns (six).

Parekh scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Parekh ended his rookie season at four goals and five assists across 37 contests. He earned seven of his nine points over the last 14 games of the season, growing in confidence as his responsibilities increased. The 20-year-old defenseman will likely be a full-time NHL option in 2026-27, and his scoring potential will give him some fantasy upside.

Husso made 17 saves in a 5-4 win over the Predators on Thursday.

Husso finished the regular season with a 10-8-2 record, 3.25 GAA and .884 save percentage in 19 starts. Barring a twist of fate, Husso will warm the end of the bench as Lukas Dostal leads the Ducks' first postseason charge since 2018.

Frost scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Frost cooled off late in the season, earning just two points over the last six games. The 26-year-old still held his own in a middle-six role on a low-scoring team, earning 22 goals, 43 points (16 on the power play), 140 shots on net, 59 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 82 appearances. Frost will be in a contract year in 2026-27, and any improvements the team can makes to its offense should be reflected in stronger numbers for the center.

LaCombe scored a goal Thursday in a 5-4 win over Nashville.

He roofed a snap shot through traffic from the blue line and past Juuse Saros to knot the game 2-2 with 21 seconds left in the first period. LaCombe heads into the postseason on a three-game, three-point streak (one goal, two assists). His 58 points (10 goals, 48 assists) put him 16th on the scoring list for NHL defenders.

Farabee scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Farabee ended the season with a tally to get to 20 goals on the year. He had gone four contests without a point prior to Thursday. The 26-year-old winger posted 38 points, 142 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 49 hits and a minus-9 rating across 82 appearances in his first full year with the Flames, seeing ice time in all situations.

Sergeev stopped 27 of 28 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

This was Sergeev's NHL debut, and he showed well. The 23-year-old netminder is set to return to AHL Calgary for the Wranglers' last two games of the campaign this weekend, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports. Sergeev is likely at least another year or more away from getting a legitimate shot at an NHL job, as both Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley (illness) have extensions kicking in for 2026-27.

Terry scored the game-winning goal Thursday in a 5-4 victory over the Predators.

Terry broke the tie with a power-play goal at 17:06 of the third period. It was his first goal in seven games (two power-play assists). Terry delivered 57 points in 61 games this season, but failed to hit the 20-goal mark for the first time since 2020-21. He fired 19 snipes in 2025-26.

Granlund had three assists in a 5-4 win over the Predators on Thursday.

Granlund, who finished with 41 points (19 goals, 22 assists) in 58 games this season, is one of only a few Ducks with playoff experience under their belt. He, Alex Killorn, John Carlson, Chris Kreider and Frank Vatrano will be counted on to lead the Ducks on their first playoff run since 2018.

Gauthier scored a goal Thursday in a 5-4 win over Nashville. He fired six shots.

It was Gauthier's 41st goal of the season, which moved him past Teemu Selanne (40; 2005-06) for the 10th-highest single-season goal total in franchise history. Gauthier finished the season on a six-game, seven-point scoring streak (five goals, two assists). He produced 69 points and fired 285 shots in 76 games this season.
