The Anaheim Ducks revealed their opening night roster today, which can be seen below.
In net, the Ducks are going with John Gibson and Anthony Stolarz, as expected.
On the blue line, five defenders were locks to make the roster, while Josh Mahura and Greg Pateryn took the last two spots. I’m thrilled to see Mahura on the roster and hopeful that he ends up getting a regular spot in the lineup, with Pateryn used as a spare. The notable omissions are Ben Hutton, who didn’t make his way back onto the roster and Jacob Larsson, who was somewhat surprisingly waived and sent to the minors.
Up front, 12 forwards were locks. However, two notable names on the roster are Mason McTavish and Benoit-Oliver Groulx. McTavish was selected third-overall by the Ducks this year and can play up to nine games without burning a year or his entry-level contract. Groulx made the jump to professional hockey last year, scoring 10 goals and 29 points in 42 AHL games with the San Diego Gulls. Both Sonny Milano and Alexander Volkov were notably waived and sent to the minors.
So McTavish and Groulx were the notable additions to the roster and we’ll see if one or both of them ends up sticking on the roster for the year.
