Terry played through a hip problem that will require offseason surgery, leaving his recovery timeline up in the air, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Terry basically skipped practices throughout the postseason, but that didn't stop him from appearing in all 12 playoff games for the Ducks. In those outings, the 28-year-old winger notched three goals and eight assists, including a pair of power-play points.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Scores on power play in loss
Rotowire
Granlund scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and went minus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6.
Granlund got the Ducks on the board in the second period, but that was it for their offense. The 34-year-old produced five goals, 10 points, 20 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-3 rating over 12 playoff outings. He's under contract for two more years and should be good for middle-six minutes in 2026-27 as a veteran presence who can help the Ducks' younger forwards take their next steps.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Can't extend season
Rotowire
Dostal allowed five goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6.
Dostal was blitzed for three goals in the first period, but he stayed in at the start of the second. The Ducks simply didn't have an answer for the Golden Knights as this series progressed. Dostal ends the playoffs with a 6-6 record, a 3.54 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 12 games. The 25-year-old will be the Ducks' top netminder in 2026-27, though he will need the team's defense to improve in front of him.
Dostal will patrol the home crease against the Golden Knights in Game 6 on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
In his 11 postseason outings, Dostal is sporting a 6-5 record, 3.36 GAA and .878 save percentage. It was a career year for the 25-year-old backstop, as he set new personal bests in games played during the regular season (56) and wins (30), though his save percentage (.888) was the worst of his five-year NHL career.

Ducks' Radko Gudas: Set to remain sidelined
Rotowire
Gudas (lower body) is not expected to play in Thursday's Game 6 clash with the Golden Knights, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Gudas has been on the shelf since Game 1 versus the Oilers on April 20 and has appeared in just five of the Ducks' last 28 contests. Considering the veteran blueliner recorded a mere 13 points in 56 regular-season tilts this year, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking on an offensive explosion from him if he returns to the lineup during the playoffs.

Ducks' Drew Helleson: Missing out Thursday
Rotowire
Helleson (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Vegas in Game 6 on Thursday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Helleson will be sidelined for his third consecutive contest, having been out of action for Games 4 and 5. Even when healthy, Helleson doesn't offer enough fantasy upside given his offensive limitations. As such, few fantasy managers will be anxiously awaiting his return to the lineup.
Poehling (upper body) will miss Thursday's Game 6 matchup against Vegas, and there's no timeline for his return to the lineup, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.
Poehling has contributed four goals and five points in 11 playoff appearances this year. Jansen Harkins might return to the lineup after spending the past two games as a healthy scratch. However, the Ducks are also considering dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. The availability of blueliners Radko Gudas (lower body) and Drew Helleson (undisclosed) will likely influence whether the Ducks go with seven defensemen in Thursday's contest.
Ducks' Mason McTavish: Supplies two helpers in Game 5
Rotowire
McTavish notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added six shots on net and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
McTavish has been back in the lineup for the last two games after getting scratched twice earlier in this second-round series. This was his first multi-point effort of the postseason. The 23-year-old has a goal, five assists, 23 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating over nine appearances. McTavish may be needed to slide over to center if Ryan Poehling (upper body) misses time following his early exit Tuesday.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Adds two more helpers
Rotowire
Gauthier notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added four shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Gauthier's known for his shooting, but he's showing off his playmaking with five helpers over his last two games. The 22-year-old winger set up goals by Beckett Sennecke and Olen Zellweger in this contest. Gauthier is up to four goals, eight assists, 37 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-1 rating over 11 contests this postseason. The intensity of the playoffs hasn't been too much for him, which is a good sign for his status as a core piece of the Ducks' lineup going forward.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Forces overtime Tuesday
Rotowire
Zellweger scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Zellweger has a goal and an assist over his first two playoff outings. He's added three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The 22-year-old defenseman is filling in as a bottom-four option for now, but he's making a decent case to stay in the lineup for Game 6, which is a must-win situation for the Ducks to keep their season going.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Goal streak at four games
Rotowire
Sennecke scored a power-play goal on four shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Sennecke has scored in four straight games, and his last two goals have come on the power play. The winger opened the scoring at 12:36 of the first period in this contest, but the Ducks didn't maintain the lead for long. Sennecke is now at five goals, one assist, 29 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-5 rating over 11 playoff outings.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Loses Game 5 in overtime
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 29 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Dostal was able to keep things close throughout regulation, but the Ducks hardly had any possession in a brief overtime period. Pavel Dorofeyev scored 4:10 into the extra session to give the Golden Knights the pivotal win, which means Dostal and the Ducks will be staring down elimination on home ice in Game 6 on Thursday. Dostal is now 6-5 this postseason with a 3.36 GAA and an .878 save percentage, and he's allowed three goals in each of the last three games.

Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Leaves Tuesday's game
Rotowire
Poehling (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Golden Knights.
Poehling was hurt on a heavy hit by Brayden McNabb in the first period. For now, Poehling can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's Game 6. If he has to miss time, Jansen Harkins or Frank Vatrano would be the top candidates to enter the lineup.
Dostal will patrol the road crease in Game 5 against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
After alternating wins and losses to begin Anaheim's second-round series, Dostal will look to earn his second consecutive win for the first time since the team's opening playoff matchup. Against Vegas, the 25-year-old netminder has a 2-2-0 record, a 2.73 GAA and an .875 save percentage across four starts. With the Golden Knights' offense scoring over three goals just once in the series, Dostal has a solid fantasy outlook for Tuesday's pivotal Game 5.
