Ducks forward Troy Terry to have hip surgery, no return date set

Anaheim Ducks forward Troy Terry needs hip surgery that could jeopardize his availability at the start of next season.

Terry is dealing with a chronic hip impingement, the Ducks revealed Thursday in their playoff injury report. Anaheim’s first playoff run since 2018 ended last week in the second round with a six-game loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Ducks have not finalized a date for Terry’s hip surgery or a specific time frame for his recovery.

Terry has been Anaheim’s most consistent offensive player over the past five years, scoring at least 19 goals and 50 points each year. He scored 57 points last season before adding three goals and eight assists in 12 playoff games – the first postseason of his career.

The team also confirmed that forward Cutter Gauthier played with two fractured vertebrae in his back during the playoffs. Gauthier was injured in late March, but only missed five games before returning and ultimately scoring 12 points in the playoffs.

Captain Radko Gudas sprained his ankle in the Ducks’ playoff opener and did not return to the lineup, but he would have been available if Anaheim had advanced to another round. So would forward Ryan Poehling, who was cleared after suffering a concussion from an illegal hit by Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb, who was suspended for one game.

Defenseman Pavel Mintyukov sprained a knee ligament, but will be ready for training camp.
