Troy Terry underwent hip surgery to address an impingement and labral tear that figures to render him unavailable to the Anaheim Ducks for the start of the 2026-27 season.
Terry had surgery on June 9, and the Ducks said Thursday that he is expected to make a full recovery in five to six months, which would put him on a timeline of a potential return in November or early December. It will create a notable hole in Anaheim’s lineup for a good chunk of the season’s first half.
Despite playing with the hip injury throughout the second half, Terry had 19 goals and 57 points in just 61 games. The top-line right wing also contributed 11 points in the Ducks’ 12 playoff games as the club made the playoffs for the first time in eight years and advanced to the second round.
Terry’s absence at the start could see young standout Beckett Sennecke increasingly being leaned on to open his second season. Sennecke finished third in Calder Trophy voting after scoring 23 goals and totaling 60 points to be among the rookie leaders in both categories.
Terry will be entering the fourth year of a seven-year, $49 million extension that he signed in 2023. Anaheim has two impending major restricted free agents in Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier to sign. Carlsson and Gauthier could become the franchise’s highest-paid players after defenseman Jackson LaCombe inked an eight-year, $72 million deal last September.
The Ducks already learned that John Carlson won’t re-sign with the team after they acquired the defenseman from the Washington Capitals at the trade deadline. Carlson’s agent, Rick Curran, told The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun that he would prefer to sign with an Eastern-based team in free agency.
