Status report
McTavish has returned to Anaheim but the forward is considered day to day. “I don’t know if he’s going to return on this trip, but we’re hopeful that he can make it back,” Ducks coach Joel Quenneville said. Anaheim will play the second of a five-game road trip Friday. … Meyers was placed on injured reserve Thursday after the forward was injured during a 4-1 win against the New York Islanders on Wednesday. Melanson was recalled from the Coachella Valley of the American Hockey League and will replace Meyers on the fourth line.
