The Ducks opened with a 4-3 win over the Golden Knights and a 3-2 overtime victory against the Panthers before a 5-2 loss in Edmonton. Carlsson, the second overall pick in 2023, signed a five-year, $90 million offer sheet from Philadelphia this summer that Anaheim matched, a cap commitment that factored into the club moving on from Chris Kreider. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Injuries have thinned the forward group. Troy Terry is on injured reserve, while Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Poehling were both listed day-to-day after leaving the win in Calgary; Poehling was later ruled out six to eight weeks with a sprained MCL. Mikael Granlund is also day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Anaheim recalled Roger McQueen, the tenth pick in 2025, from San Diego, where he had three goals in four games. Earlier, the fourth line of Jeff Malott, Judd Caulfield and Tim Washe produced three goals in a 5-1 win at Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>New York Rangers News &amp; Notes<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York opened the 2026-27 season 6-2-0, its best start since beginning 2024-25 at 6-1-1 through eight games. That stretch came despite losing Igor Shesterkin for the remainder of the year to an injury sustained in a 3-1 loss to Washington. The Rangers answered with a 6-2 win over Vancouver and a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay, then were shut out Saturday at Nationwide Arena, where Kent Johnson scored in overtime for a 1-0 Columbus victory. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dylan Garand has carried the crease, going 3-1-0 with a 1.15 goals-against average, a .951 save percentage and one shutout over his first four appearances, ranking second in the NHL in both rate statistics. He has yet to face 30 shots in a game. Backup Joonas Korpisalo is expected to miss roughly four weeks, and Elliotte Friedman has downplayed the Rangers as a destination for suspended Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. <\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Line 1: Alex Killorn \u2013 Leo Carlsson \u2013 Nikita Klepov<\/p>\n<p>Line 2: Frank Vatrano \u2013 Mikael Granlund \u2013 Beckett Sennecke<\/p>\n<p>Line 3: A.J.

Box Score Junkie has him at 56.9% Corsi-for and 57.9% Fenwick this season to date, with 65.0 shot attempts for per 60. He\u2019s also five goals on 3.3 expected, so finishing has been a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Gabe Perreault \u2014 New York Rangers<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perreault fired six shots in his last outing over 18:37 and came away with nothing on the scoresheet, the kind of night that makes a shots-on-goal prop worth a look. With the Rangers held off the board by their top six last game, he\u2019s the one generating volume and the likeliest to break through.<\/p>\n<p>Injury Report<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks<\/p>\n<p>Mikael Granlund (C) \u2014 Day-To-Day, Upper Body, expected back Monday, October 19<\/p>\n<p>Ian Moore (D) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Lower Body, expected back Sunday, November 8<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Poehling (C) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Lower Body, expected back Wednesday, November 25<\/p>\n<p>Troy Terry (RW) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Hip, expected back Saturday, November 21<\/p>\n<p>New York Rangers<\/p>\n<p>Igor Shesterkin (G) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Knee, expected back Wednesday, September 15<\/p>\n<p>Joe Veleno (C) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Lower Body, expected back Sunday, January 3<\/p>\n<p>Joonas Korpisalo (G) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Lower Body, expected back Monday, November 9<\/p>\n<p>Aidan Thompson (C) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Undisclosed, expected back Monday, October 26<\/p>\n<p>Adam Sykora (LW) \u2014 Injured Reserve, Lower Body, expected back Monday, January 25<\/p>\n<p>Next Up<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks: visit the New York Islanders on Tuesday, October 20.<\/p>\n<p>New York Rangers: visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, October 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Anaheim Ducks visit the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Monday, October 19, 2026, with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500972,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[188834,163,824,165,164,1720,1718,194091,73118,401,53172,2098,21258,16992,187314,1716,2101,51796,823,6755,404,16029,74038,15954,2721,4862],"class_list":["post-500971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-2026-27-nhl-regular-season","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-beckett-sennecke","tag-cutter-gauthier","tag-dylan-garand","tag-gabe-perreault","tag-hockey","tag-igor-shesterkin","tag-injury-report","tag-jeff-malott","tag-joonas-korpisalo","tag-judd-caulfield","tag-leo-carlsson","tag-line-combinations","tag-madison-square-garden","tag-mikael-granlund","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-nhl","tag-nhl-game-preview","tag-roger-mcqueen","tag-ryan-poehling","tag-tim-washe","tag-troy-terry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
