Poehling (upper body) will miss Thursday's game in Detroit, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Poehling has a goal and six points in 16 appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. Mikael Granlund (lower body) and Ryan Strome (upper body) are set to rejoin the lineup Thursday after missing time due to their respective injuries, so Poehling's exit is corresponding with those returns. In addition to Poehling's absence, Ross Johnston might be a healthy scratch versus the Red Wings after playing in Anaheim's past 11 games.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine in Detroit
Rotowire
Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal will make his third straight start. He saw a six-game winning streak end Tuesday against the Avalanche when he allowed three goals on 35 shots. The Red Wings could offer a good bounce-back opportunity, as they have won just two of their last six games, scoring just nine goals in that span with both wins coming in the shootout.

Rotowire

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Returning versus Wings
Rotowire
Granlund (lower body) will be in action against Detroit on Thursday, per NHL.com.
Granlund will return to the lineup following an eight-game stint on injured reserve due to his lower-body injury. With the Sharks last season, the 33-year-old center notched 15 goals and 30 helpers in 52 contests, including 15 power-play points. In addition to Granlund, the Ducks will also get back Ryan Strome, with the pair linking up together on the fourth line.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Set for season debut
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) will be in the lineup against the Red Wings on Thursday, Alyson Lozoff on TNT reports.
Strome will be making his season debut for the Ducks after missing the first 16 games due to his upper-body injury. While the veteran center has been a lock for the 40-point threshold in recent years -- he's achieved that mark in six straight campaigns -- missing nearly a quarter of the season could see him dip below 40 points for the first time since 2018-19, when he was limited to just 63 regular-season games.
Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Reaches 100-point mark in career
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Per the Ducks, Carlsson is the youngest player in franchise history to reach the 100-point mark in his career. He achieved the milestone in his 147th game at 20 years old. The center has scored six goals over the last four contests and is on an 11-game, 20-point streak overall. For the season, he's up to 11 tallies, 26 points, 43 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 16 appearances.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Bested by Avalanche
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Dostal's six-game winning streak -- and the Ducks' seven-game winning streak -- came to an end at the hands of the only team above them in the standings. This was still a solid performance for Dostal, but it's proof that the Ducks' hot start will have some bumps in the road at times. The 25-year-old is now 8-4-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 13 starts. The Ducks' road trip continues in Detroit on Thursday.
Strome (upper body) remains on the shelf against the Avs on Tuesday despite his activation from IR, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Strome was taken off injured reserve Sunday, but he still hasn't gotten back into the lineup for the Ducks. While the 32-year-old center has notched 41 points in three straight seasons, this extended absence to open the season will likely prevent him from hitting that mark in 2025-26. Even once given the all-clear, Strome may not be able to unseat Leo Carlsson or Mason McTavish for a spot in the top six.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Starting in high-powered matchup
Rotowire
Dostal will patrol the visiting crease versus Colorado on Tuesday, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports.
Dostal is rolling to the tune of six straight wins, but he'll face his toughest task yet against the league's top team Tuesday. The Avalanche have lost just once in regulation through 16 games, and they sit second in the NHL with 4.00 goals per game. The Ducks rank first in the league in goals per game (4.13), so this could be a high-scoring affair. Dostal is also 0-2-2 with a 4.89 GAA and an .873 save percentage across four career appearances against Colorado, so it's reasonable for fantasy managers to avoid Dostal in this matchup given these circumstances.
Kreider logged two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Kreider hadn't logged a helper since Oct. 14 versus the Penguins. The winger has still been an incredible addition for the Ducks' top six, providing some veteran talent and grit to complement the team's flourishing youth. Kreider is up to nine goals, three helpers, 28 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 11 outings.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Records pair of assists in win
Rotowire
Gauthier registered two assists, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Gauthier's eight-game point streak ended Saturday in Vegas. He didn't wait long to get back on the scoresheet, setting up both of Beckett Sennecke's goals in this contest. This was Gauthier's fifth multi-point effort over his last six games. The 21-year-old winger has mixed in some playmaking lately after starting the season a little heavier in the goal column. He's at 11 goals, nine assists, 69 shots on net, 13 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 15 appearances this season.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: First multi-goal game in NHL
Rotowire
Sennecke scored two goals, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
This was Sennecke's third multi-point effort over the last five games. The 19-year-old opened the scoring at 7:18 of the first period and added another goal in the middle frame. He's up to six tallies, 11 points, 25 shots on net, 14 hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over 15 appearances. Sennecke hasn't looked out of place as a rookie and has been a significant contributor to the Ducks' impressive offense so far.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Pots two more goals in win
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a pair of power-play goals in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Carlsson has back-to-back multi-goal games, and he's logged at least two points in four straight outings. His point streak is up to 10 games overall, six of which have been multi-point efforts. Carlsson's superstar moment is here, as he's making good on his No. 2 overall draft status from 2023. The center is up to 10 goals, 25 points, 37 shots on net, 19 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 15 appearances.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Sharp in win over Jets
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 23 of 24 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Dostal's winning streak is up to six games, and the Ducks have won seven in a row overall. He limited the damage to a Kyle Connor tally in the second period while Leo Carlsson and Beckett Sennecke each scored twice to lead the Ducks in the win. Dostal now has an 8-3-1 record with a 2.66 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 12 appearances. The Ducks will look to take their success on the road with a three-game trip beginning in Colorado on Tuesday.
Dostal is set to start at home against the Jets on Sunday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Dostal heads into Sunday's action on a five-game winning streak -- he's recorded a .909 save percentage and 2.57 GAA during that run of success. The 2018 third-round pick allowed five goals on 26 shots in his last start, but the Ducks provided him with plenty of offensive support in a 7-5 victory in Dallas on Thursday. The Jets have lost back-to-back contests in California following a three-game winning streak, and they're tied for 12th in the NHL with 3.29 goals per game this season.
