Status report
Carlson could make his Ducks debut. The team said in a post on X on Thursday that the defenseman, who has not played since Feb. 5 because of a lower-body injury, would play either Saturday or at the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday; Carlson was acquired in a trade with the Washington Capitals on March 5. ... Moore could move from forward to defense if Gudas is suspended; Gudas had a hearing scheduled with the NHL Department of Player Safety following a knee-on-knee hit against Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews during a 6-4 loss Thursday. ... Jensen, a defenseman, is day to day.
