Troy Terry is about to return, and poolers should take notice. The Ducks announced on Tuesday that their winger is likely to play his first game of the season tonight against Nashville at Honda Center, according to head coach Joel Quenneville.
A long absence
Terry had hip surgery on June 9 to repair a hip impingement and a labral tear. The expected recovery was 5 to 6 months, and he was expected to miss at least the first month of the 2026-27 season. Tonight would be right on schedule.
What it means for your pool
Last season, Terry scored 19 goals and 57 points in 61 games, plus 11 points in 12 playoff games. He is a top six winger who produces at even strength and on the power play. In a points-only pool, he is worth adding right away if he is available. In keeper and dynasty leagues, he is a name to target before his return pushes his value up.
