Ryan Strome Activated from IR, Poised for Season Debut with Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks have officially activated forward Ryan Strome from injury reserve, positioning him for his season debut. Strome, who sustained an upper-body injury during preseason practice, has missed the first month of the 2025-26 season. Head coach Joel Quenneville emphasized Strome's experience, stating he's "very close to getting consideration to play" and would join the team on their trip. Strome has been practicing in a non-contact jersey and is anticipated to make his debut Sunday when the Ducks host the Winnipeg Jets. Historically a consistent 41-point producer, Strome's return is expected to boost the Ducks' top-ranked offense, potentially slotting into the third line, which has seen Ryan Poehling fill in due to Mikael Granlund's injury.
