Poehling to Miss 6-8 Weeks with Sprained MCL

Ducks center Ryan Poehling will miss 6-8 weeks with a sprained MCL, after suffering the injury last Saturday night in Calgary. 

Poehling left the game immediately after scoring a shorthanded goal 5:35 into the third period, giving the Ducks a one-goal lead in an eventual 4-2 Anaheim win over the Flames. He was tripped by sliding Flames defenseman Zayne Parekh and collided with the right post.

The 27-year-old Poehling has a goal and an assist in five games so far in 2026-27. Acquired by the Ducks via trade on June 23, 2025, Poeling had 11 goals and 25 assists in 75 games last season and added four more goals in the playoffs before missing the final game of the Second Round series vs. Vegas with a concussion. 

Poehling signed a four-year contract with the Ducks on March 5, 2026.
