Ducks Recall Mahura from San Diego

The Ducks have recalled defenseman Josh Mahura from the San Diego Gulls, Anaheim's primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL). He is expected to be in the lineup tonight vs. Minnesota, according to head coach Dallas Eakins, to replace the injured Hampus Lindholm (lower body).

Mahura, 22 (5/5/98), has earned 2-7=9 points and six penalty minutes (PIM) in 28 career games with the Ducks. The 6-0, 186-pound defenseman recorded 1-3=4 points in 11 games with Anaheim in 2019-20. He tallied three assists (0-3=3) in his 2019-20 season debut, Oct. 29, 2019 vs. Winnipeg to become the sixth rookie in NHL history and the first since 1991 to record three assists in less than three minutes (2:52) of a single period.
Selected by Anaheim in the third round (85th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft, Mahura began 2020-21 with San Diego, recording 1-3=4 points with a +2 rating and two PIM in six AHL games. The St. Albert, Alberta native has collected 6-38=44 points and 52 PIM in 90 career AHL games with San Diego.
