Roster cuts and critical injuries leave Anaheim relying on fresh faces and rookies as they finalize a cap-compliant lineup ahead of a high-stakes rematch in Las Vegas.
The Anaheim Ducks have submitted their initial cap-compliant roster for the 2026-27 NHL season ahead of their opener against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-man submission includes 16 forwards, seven defensemen, and two goaltenders. However, injuries have left Anaheim with only 14 healthy forwards and five healthy defensemen, prompting reliance on several young prospects and recent additions.
Troy Terry was placed on Injured Non-Roster and is expected to miss two to three months following a hip injury, while Ian Moore was placed on Injured Reserve. Head coach Joel Quenneville noted that AJ Greer and Drew Helleson remain day-to-day, which could lead to NHL debuts for rookies Judd Caulfield, Nikita Klepov, and Roger McQueen.
