Mason McTavish Returns to Anaheim, Hopes for Road Trip Return

Mason McTavish (upper body) has returned to Anaheim, though head coach Joel Quenneville expressed hope he could rejoin the team on their current road trip. Quenneville stated 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." Despite this, McTavish is likely to miss at least the next three games due to a back-to-back schedule. He remains a strong candidate for injured reserve if the Ducks require a roster spot, given his recovery timeline.
