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.
