McGinn sustained a lower-body injury and will not return to Monday's contest against the Stars.
McGinn crashed into the boards after being tripped in the middle frame by Thomas Harley. McGinn was able to get up on his own, but he was favoring his left leg, per Taylor Baird of NHL.com. The Ducks face the Blackhawks in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday, so expect an update on McGinn's status ahead of puck drop in Chicago.

Ducks' Urho Vaakanainen: Unavailable Monday
Rotowire
Vaakanainen (upper body) won't suit up Monday against Dallas.
Vaakanainen will miss his second straight contest, and it's not yet known if he's close to returning. The 25-year-old has collected an assist through five appearances this season. Drew Helleson will make his second appearance of the season on the third defensive pairing.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine in Dallas
Rotowire
Dostal will be between the pipes for Monday's road matchup versus the Stars.
Dostal will make his 13th start of the season Monday -- he has a 4-6-2 record, .922 save percentage and 2.75 GAA through 12 outings. The 24-year-old is 0-4-1 over his last five starts, and he'll face a Dallas club that's scored 3.38 goals per game through 16 contests.
Colangelo was summoned from AHL San Diego on Sunday.
Colangelo has nine goals and 14 points through 14 AHL outings this campaign. He had one goal in three regular-season appearances with Anaheim at the NHL level in 2023-24. The Ducks placed Mason McTavish (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Ducks' Tyson Hinds: Brought up from AHL
Rotowire
Hinds was called up from AHL San Diego on Sunday.
Hinds has two goals and six PIM in 13 minor-league outings this campaign. He hasn't made his NHL debut yet, but that could change because of injuries to Cam Fowler (upper body) and Urho Vaakanainen (upper body).

Ducks' Mason McTavish: Moved to IR
Rotowire
McTavish (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
McTavish hasn't played since Nov. 8, and a return to the lineup probably isn't imminent. He has generated two goals, six assists and 23 shots on net across 13 outings this season. With McTavish and Robby Fabbri (knee) on IR, Jansen Harkins and Brett Leason have been playing in the bottom six recently.

Ducks' Jansen Harkins: Nabs helper Friday
Rotowire
Harkins recorded an assist and two hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
The helper was Harkins' first point at the NHL level over three appearances this season. The 27-year-old was limited to four assists over 45 contests in 2023-24 with the Penguins. Harkins will likely play until Mason McTavish (upper body) returns, though he could stick around with the big club since Robby Fabbri (knee) is likely to be out until around New Year's.

Ducks' Jackson LaCombe: Registers assist in win
Rotowire
LaCombe notched an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
LaCombe helped out on an Olen Zellweger tally in the first period. The 23-year-old LaCombe has a chance to get a steady stretch of top-four minutes while Cam Fowler (upper body) is on injured reserve. LaCombe is up to three points, 14 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 10 outings. He could also be a factor with the power play at times, though he'll have to compete with Zellweger and Pavel Mintyukov for those duties.

Ducks' Alex Killorn: Assists in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Killorn notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Killorn has a helper in back-to-back games since he snapped a four-game dry spell. The 35-year-old was back on the top line Friday, though he saw a modest 15:51 of ice time and figures to continue moving around in what's a fairly fluid forward group for the Ducks. Killorn has two goals, three assists, 22 shots on net, 14 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 16 contests.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Offers assist Friday
Rotowire
Vatrano logged an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Vatrano set up Ryan Strome's empty-netter to seal the win. This was Vatrano's third straight game with a point (one goal, two assists). The winger may be getting back in a groove on offense while playing on the second line. He's picked up two goals, five assists, 49 shots on net, 31 hits and 14 blocked shots over 15 outings this season.

Ducks' Drew Helleson: Two helpers in season debut
Rotowire
Helleson provided a pair of assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Helleson drew into the lineup due to the absences of Cam Fowler (upper body) and Urho Vaakanainen (upper body). This was Helleson's first NHL action since he saw three games during the 2022-23 campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner is likely to see third-pairing minutes until Vaakanainen is healthy, as Fowler is out for 2-4 weeks. Helleson could make a case to stick around longer if he's able to make a positive impact in limited minutes.

Ducks' Brian Dumoulin: Two assists in win
Rotowire
Dumoulin notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Dumoulin helped out on goals by Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Strome in the third period. With three helpers over his last three games, Dumoulin appears to be picking up the slack created by the absence of Cam Fowler (upper body). Dumoulin now has five assists, 22 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-5 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Records pair of assists
Rotowire
Carlsson posted two assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Carlsson picked up his second multi-point effort in this contest. He has three points over his last three contests, bouncing back from a four-game slump before that. The 19-year-old center is up to nine points (three on the power play), 26 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 16 outings in a top-six role. Carlsson should be able to grow his offense over the course of the season, though the Ducks have struggled to score as a team, so that could limit his upside slightly.

Ducks' Ross Johnston: Scores in Friday's win
Rotowire
Johnston scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Johnston has been surprisingly productive since entering the lineup on a regular basis at the start of November. All three of his points have come over the last six games, and he'll likely have a chance to stick in the lineup while Robby Fabbri (knee) is out. Johnston has added six shots on net, 35 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 appearances.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Lights lamp Friday
Rotowire
Gauthier scored a goal in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Gauthier put the Ducks ahead 4-3 in the third period as part of a four-goal frame for the team. It was the winger's first NHL tally, which could end up opening the floodgates. The 20-year-old has struggled to the point of getting demoted to the fourth line at even strength, though he's still in the power-play mix. Overall, Gauthier has a goal, five assists, 36 shots on net, 11 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 16 appearances.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Tallies on power play
Rotowire
Zegras scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Zegras snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 23-year-old is off to an abysmal start this season with just four points through 16 contests despite routinely seeing top-six minutes. This was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he's added 29 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-6 rating. Not much has gone right for the Ducks on offense, but Zegras struggling out of the gate for the second year in a row is a significant concern.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Strome scored an empty-net goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Strome scored for the first time since Oct. 27, a span of seven contests without a goal in which he logged just two assists. The 31-year-old has been on the top line lately, though the Ducks haven't hesitated to spread the minutes around among their forwards this season. Strome has four goals, eight points, 36 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances, giving him some appeal in deeper formats for his offense.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Nets equalizer on power play
Rotowire
Terry scored a power-play goal on five shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Terry's tally tied the game at 3-3 in the third period. He had gone six contests without a goal entering Friday, though he had three assists in that span. The 27-year-old is up to six goals, 12 points (five on the power play), 39 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 16 appearances. Terry is a decent offense-only option for fantasy managers as long as he remains in a top-six role.
