Status report
Vatrano will return after sitting out Anaheim’s past three games as a healthy scratch. … Ducks coach Joel Quenneville confirmed that Husso will start in net and there will be “one, maybe more (changes) on the back end.” … Harkins, a forward, sustained an upper-body injury during a 5-3 loss at the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. … The Ducks recalled forward Nathan Gaucher from San Diego of the American Hockey League on Thursday. … The Flames held an optional morning skate. … After sitting out Calgary’s past five games, Beecher will return in place of Lomberg.
