McTavish (upper body) is suiting up for Sunday's home contest against the Golden Knights, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks will get some firepower back in the lineup for this Pacific Division matchup, as both McTavish and Troy Terry are returning from upper-body injuries. McTavish is set to center the third line between Jeffrey Viel and Cutter Gauthier on Sunday. The 23-year-old McTavish will occupy a spot with one of the power-play units as well.

McTavish (upper body) participated in Saturday's practice and will probably be a game-time decision against Vegas on Sunday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McTavish said he felt good after Saturday's session, but he needs to be cleared by the medical staff. He has missed the last five games. McTavish has 13 goals, 30 points, 103 shots on net and 54 hits across 49 appearances this season.

McTavish (upper body) will remain sidelined for Monday's divisional matchup in Edmonton, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Lee noted that the Ducks will roll out the same lineup as Sunday's overtime win in Calgary, which rules McTavish out for a fourth straight game. The 2021 No. 3 overall pick seems to be closing in on a return to the lineup, though, as he was deemed questionable to play earlier Monday. McTavish's next opportunity to suit up will be Thursday, when Anaheim continues its road trip in Vancouver.

McTavish (upper body) is a game-time decision for Monday's road meeting with the Oilers, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

McTavish has missed the Ducks' last three games due to his upper-body issue. If McTavish ends up being able to play Monday, Anaheim would probably go back to playing with 12 forwards and six defensemen, which would likely result in Ian Moore coming out of the lineup.

McTavish (upper body) traveled back to Anaheim but could still rejoin the team on the road after head coach Joel Quenneville told reporters Friday, "He's doing better, so I don't know if he's gonna return on this trip, but we're hopeful that he can make it back," Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a back-to-back set Sunday and Monday, it seems likely that McTavish will miss at least the next three games despite Quenneville leaving the door open. Considering his recovery timeline, the center could be a strong candidate for injured reserve if the Ducks need the roster spot.

McTavish (upper body) is a late scratch for Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

McTavish's absence will thin out the Ducks' center group even more than it already is. He joins Leo Carlsson (thigh) on the shelf. Jansen Harkins will draw into the lineup, but Ryan Poehling may see a bigger boost in minutes to cover McTavish's absence.

McTavish notched a goal and took four shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McTavish has been inconsistent with his scoring production, but he seems to be turning a corner after finding the twine in three of his last five outings. The 22-year-old playmaker has a good shot at reaching the 50-point plateau for a second straight campaign if he stays healthy, and his role as the center of the first line should continue to give him plenty of opportunities to produce. McTavish has 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 49 contests so far in 2025-26.

McTavish scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.

The 22-year-old center is poised to handle a larger role while Leo Carlsson (thigh) is sidelined for 3-5 weeks. McTavish is up to 29 points, 99 shots on net, 53 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 48 appearances this season.

McTavish scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

McTavish scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.
