Biakabutuka and a second-round pick were traded from St. Louis to Anaheim for Cam Fowler and a fourth-round selection Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Two assists in Thursday's loss
Strome notched two assists, including one on the power play, and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Strome's gotten on the scoresheet twice in six games in December, with each instance being a two-assist performance. The center is up to 14 points (three on the power play), 53 shots on net, 13 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 28 appearances. He's found a spot alongside Frank Vatrano and Troy Terry in the top six, which gives Strome at least the potential to put up strong scoring numbers.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Tallies on power play
Vatrano scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Vatrano got the Ducks on the board in the first period. He has produced three goals and two assists over six outings in December, though his production has been bolstered by a three-point game to start the month. Overall, the power forward is finding a bit more consistency after a slow start to the campaign. He's at seven goals, 14 points (four on the power play), 93 shots on net, 78 hits, 24 blocked shots and 20 PIM through 27 contests.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Needs more help from teammates
Dostal made 30 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
Max Pacioretty had his number Thursday, beating Dostal twice. The young netminder played a strong game, but the Ducks' defense left him alone on an island far too many times. Despite a 6-8-3 record, Dostal has a sparkling .920 save percentage and solid 2.69 GAA, and that makes him a solid matchup play in daily formats.

Ducks' Jackson LaCombe: Four points in last five games
LaCombe had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 loss to Toronto on Thursday.
He wired a shot through traffic from the high slot that beat Joseph Woll. The 23-year-old LaCombe has four points, including three goals, and 12 shots over his last five games. Thursday's assist came on the power play. LaCombe moves the puck smoothly with a great first pass, and his defensive work is solid for a young blueliner. His value is rising because of his role on the first power-play unit. He's worth monitoring in fantasy.

Colangelo was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Set to return
Fabbri (knee) will return to the lineup versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Fabbri was expected to miss six weeks after undergoing knee surgery Nov. 15, but he's back in action after just four weeks. Sam Colangelo was returned to AHL San Diego. Fabbri is likely to be eased back in given his quick recovery and lengthy history of injuries.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Undergoes knee surgery
Zegras is expected to be out for approximately six weeks after undergoing right knee surgery Thursday to repair a torn meniscus.
Zegras has four goals and 10 points in 24 appearances in 2024-25. He suffered the injury during a 4-1 loss to Vegas on Dec. 4. His exit from the lineup coincided with Brock McGinn returning from a lower-body injury. When Zegras eventually returns, Isac Lundestrom or Jansen Harkins might lose their spot in the lineup.

Ducks' Mason McTavish: Collects assist in loss
McTavish notched an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.
McTavish has gone eight games without a goal since returning from an upper-body injury, but he has three assists in that span. The 21-year-old center is up to 11 points, 32 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-7 rating over 21 appearances. He's filling a third-line role, though his power-play duties occasionally allow him to see something along the lines of top-six usage.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Pots lone goal in loss
Gauthier scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.
Gauthier snapped a five-game goal drought with a third-period tally to break up Linus Ullmark's shutout bid. Offense has been a challenge for the Ducks lately -- this was the fourth time in the last six games they've been limited to a single goal, a span in which Gauthier has two points. The rookie winger is at four goals, eight assists, 54 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-3 rating through 27 appearances in a middle-six role.

Ducks' John Gibson: Yields five goals Wednesday
Gibson gave up five goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.
Ottawa cashed in three times on the power play, with Drake Batherson scoring two-thirds of his hat trick with the man advantage. The Ducks rank 28th in the league in penalty killing, checking in at a 72.4 percent success rate. Gibson has lost four starts in a row, giving up 14 goals in that span while trending in the wrong direction after a positive start to the campaign. He's now 4-4-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Lukas Dostal is slated to start Thursday versus the Maple Leafs and could be due for a larger role between the pipes -- Gibson has been starting two out of three games lately, but a 50-50 split may better suit both goalies.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Slated to start Thursday
Dostal is expected to start Thursday's road game in Toronto, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
John Gibson is starting Wednesday in Ottawa, while Dostal will take the second half of the back-to-back. Dostal's playing time has dropped lately -- he's played four of 10 games from Nov. 18 to Dec. 9, going 2-1-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .914 save percentage in that span. Gibson's been in a bit of a rut, so Dostal may have a chance to get more playing time soon.

Gibson has allowed nine goals on 82 shots during his three-game losing streak. The Senators have gone five games without scoring more than three goals, though they are 2-2-1 in that span.

Carlsson (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against Ottawa, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Carlsson missed the last six games due to his upper-body injury, but he should be back in action for the first half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. Over his first 20 appearances of the season, the 19-year-old totaled six goals, 11 points, 10 blocked shots and seven hits while averaging 16:43 of ice time.
