Anaheim Ducks – Ottawa Senators

Recent form

Anaheim was 5-6-0 as of October 27, 2026, before Vancouver, and was beginning a three-game homestand. The results against Vancouver and Buffalo on October 29 are not sufficiently documented to establish complete form.

Ottawa had not yet won during its road trip in the Pacific Division as of October 31; the team had rallied from a 1-5 deficit to 5-5 in Los Angeles before losing in overtime. Tim Stützle had 19 points in 14 games, and Drake Batherson was coming off six consecutive games with at least one point.

Ottawa’s result in San Jose and its physical condition after that game are not established here.

Head-to-head

The selected pages do not document a recent matchup between Anaheim and Ottawa with a date, season, and score. This lack of a verified record prevents using head-to-head history; it does not allow concluding that no game took place.

Absences and injuries

Anaheim: Pavel Mintyukov was on the injured list with a lower-body injury and described as day-to-day on October 27, 2026; Ian Moore had just resumed skating, and Troy Terry was nearing a return after hip surgery. None of these returns is confirmed for Ottawa.

Ottawa: William Eklund was expected to miss approximately 10 to 12 weeks after ankle surgery, an injury sustained on October 8 and announced on October 15. Thomas Chabot and Jake Sanderson had rejoined the défense on October 29.

Warren Foegele was announced as out for an extended period. Andre Burakovsky was unavailable or questionable after Los Angeles; his status, along with that of Hayden Hodgson and Nick Cousins after their ejection, is not established for Anaheim.

Context & news

Anaheim’s favorable scenario rests on the Honda Center advantage, the three-game home stand and Ottawa’s fatigue at the end of a five-game road trip: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Jose, Anaheim, then Buffalo. A possible return of Terry or Mintyukov would further bolster the depth, but it is not confirmed.

Ottawa’s favorable scenario rests on the recent production of Stützle and Batherson, the recovery of Chabot and Sanderson, and the ability to respond demonstrated in Los Angeles. It is undermined by the lack of a win on the Pacific road trip, offensive roster issues and the uncertainty surrounding the San Jose game.

The result of that game, the minutes played and any potential new injuries remain to be determined.
