Ducks Activate Ryan Strome, Place Captain Radko Gudas on Injured Reserve

The veteran forward is eligible to play Sunday night against Winnipeg, offering needed depth after the captain’s lower‑body setback.

Overview

  • Ryan Strome was activated from injured reserve and is available to make his season debut when Anaheim hosts the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
  • Coach Joel Quenneville said Strome is “very close” to getting consideration to play after practicing in a non‑contact jersey over the past week.
  • Strome had been out since sustaining an upper‑body injury in a preseason practice and last appeared in the Oct. 4 exhibition against the Kings.
  • Defenseman Radko Gudas was placed on injured reserve with a lower‑body injury; the 35‑year‑old captain has two assists and averages 15:35 in seven games this season.
  • Anaheim has opened 10-3-1 with an NHL‑leading 4.14 goals per game, and with Mikael Granlund still out but not on IR, Ryan Poehling has centered the third line where Strome could slot in.
