Caulfield scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Caulfield tapped into the new-dad boost, scoring in the second period to tie the game at 3-3. He had been away from the team for the previous two games to attend the birth of his first child back in California. Caulfield has impressed in his first taste of NHL action, earning two goals, two assists, 10 shots, 26 hits and a plus-1 rating over nine appearances despite primarily playing in the bottom six.

Ducks' A.J. Greer: Tallies in win
Rotowire
Greer scored a goal on two shots, added 17 PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Greer mixed things up in the first period, then backed up the toughness with a tally in the middle frame. He's earned four points this season, including three of his last four games. The 29-year-old has also contributed 18 shots on net, 24 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-1 rating. He's a worthy depth option in banger leagues, but his offense could be fairly limited in the Ducks' bottom six.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Buries power-play tally
Rotowire
Sennecke scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Sennecke ended a three-game slump with the tally. The 20-year-old winger continues to bring well-rounded production in a top-six role. He's at six goals, three assists, 28 shots on net, 14 hits, 16 PIM and six blocked shots over 11 appearances. Sennecke's earned four of his points with the man advantage, and he's steady enough to be a fixture in many fantasy lineups.

Ducks' James Hamblin: Pots two goals for Gulls
Rotowire
Hamblin scored twice in AHL San Diego's 4-1 win over San Jose on Saturday.
Hamblin snapped a five-game skid with this performance. He's at three goals and two assists over nine contests to begin his first season with San Diego. He has never posted more than 45 points in an AHL campaign so far, giving him little chance of making an impact even if he gets called up to the NHL.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Two points in win over Philly
Rotowire
Carlsson delivered an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Facing the team whose offer sheet this summer resulted in Carlsson re-signing with the Ducks for five years and $90 million, the 21-year-old rewarded his benefactors by opening the scoring for Anaheim midway through the second period and then setting up Beckett Sennecke for what proved to be the game-winner in the third. Carlsson has a pair of multi-point performances in the last three games, and through 11 contests to begin the season he's racked up three goals and 13 points, including eight points (one goal, seven assists) on the power play.

Ducks' Tristan Luneau: Breaks out with three-point effort
Rotowire
Luneau scored his first goal of the season on two shots and added two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
The 22-year-old blueliner helped set up a pair of tallies in the second period as Anaheim tied the score at 3-3, before Luneau snuck a puck under Joseph Woll's armpit two minutes into the final frame to give his team its first lead of the afternoon. The three-point performance was a career high for Luneau, and through 11 games to begin his first full season in the NHL he's produced five points, 16 blocked shots, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Weathers early storm for fourth win
Rotowire
Dostal made 28 saves in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Philly grabbed a 2-0 lead late in the first period with a pair of power-play goals just 63 seconds apart from Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone, but Dostal kept his focus and gave Anaheim a chance to mount a comeback. The victory snapped a three-start losing streak for the 26-year-old netminder, and through eight outings this season Dostal sports a 4-4-0 record with a 3.27 GAA and .880 save percentage.
Ducks' Jeff Malott: Expected to play against Flyers
Rotowire
Malott (illness) is slated to play against Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Malott missed Thursday's 4-1 loss to New Jersey due to illness. He has one goal, three points, eight shots on net, six blocked shots and 19 hits in nine appearances this season.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Set to face Flyers
Rotowire
Dostal will guard the road crease in Saturday's clash against the Flyers, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Dostal is currently on a three-game losing streak, with his most recent loss coming in a close game against the Islanders earlier in the Ducks' road trip. Overall, the 26-year-old backstop has a 3-4-0 record, a 3.17 GAA and an .881 save percentage across seven appearances. He's ceded more work to Ville Husso as of late, and if he can't get back on track against the Flyers on Saturday that trend could continue. For now, Dostal is an untrustworthy fantasy option outside of deep leagues, but his favorable matchup against Philadelphia on Saturday could help him get kickstarted.

Ducks' Judd Caulfield: Set to play Saturday
Rotowire
Caulfield (personal) is expected to play against Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Caulfield has been activated from the non-roster list after missing the last two games for the birth of his first child. With Jeff Malott (illness) also ready to return, Frank Vatrano and Nikita Klepov are projected to be healthy scratches against the Flyers on Saturday.

Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Mintyukov (lower body) was put on injured reserve Thursday.
Mintyukov last played Tuesday against the Islanders, so this move might be retroactive to that date. Travis Mitchell was summoned from AHL San Diego in a corresponding move. Mintyukov had two assists, two PIM, five shots, one hit and 16 blocks in nine appearances before sustaining the injury. Nick Jensen might play regularly during Mintyukov's absence.

Ducks' Travis Mitchell: Recalled by Anaheim
Rotowire
Mitchell was recalled from AHL San Diego on Friday.
Mitchell appeared in each of the Ducks' first five games of the regular season, and he was held scoreless with nine PIM, seven blocked shots and six hits while averaging 16:36 of ice time. He was sent down in mid-October but will rejoin the NHL club after Pavel Mintyukov (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Washe scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
Washe has emerged as a decent depth scorer for the Ducks. Thursday was the first time he's been held without a hit this season, but he typically brings a physical edge. He's at three goals, two assists, 10 shots, 33 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 appearances in a fourth-line role.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Downed by Devils
Rotowire
Husso stopped 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to New Jersey. The Devils' final goal was scored into an empty net.
The Devils jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, and while Husso kept the Ducks in the contest, his offense never got going while playing its third game in four nights on an east coast road swing. Husso has gone 1-2-0 in his first four outings of the season with a 3.09 GAA and .888 save percentage, numbers which won't put any pressure on Lukas Dostal at the top of the depth chart.
Malott (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Devils.
Malott will miss at least one game while under the weather. The Ducks are a little thin at forward since Judd Caulfield (personal) is also out, but Nikita Klepov will draw in on the third line in Malott's absence. It's unclear if Malott will feel well enough to play Saturday in Philadelphia.

Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: Out for rest of road trip
Rotowire
Mintyukov (lower body) returned to Anaheim on Thursday and won't play for the last two games of the road trip.
Mintyukov will miss Thursday's game versus the Devils and Saturday's contests against the Flyers. The 22-year-old defenseman is day-to-day beyond that. Tristan Luneau will take over for Mintyukov in a bottom-four role.

Ducks' Judd Caulfield: Out Thursday; on non-roster list
Rotowire
Caulfield (personal) remains in Southern California and won't play Thursday versus the Devils, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports. Per the NHL media site, Caulfield has also been designated a non-roster player.
Caulfield will remain with his family for a while longer after leaving the Ducks' road trip for the birth of his child. At this point, it seems doubtful he'll be available for Saturday's game versus the Flyers, but he could be back in action Tuesday versus the Canucks once the Ducks have returned home.
