Mason McTavish Healthy Scratch for Second Straight Game Game #68: Ducks vs.

Flyers Gameday Preview (03/18/26) Philadelphia’s playoff hopes have all but dwindled, as entering Wednesday, they were eight points out of the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Trevor Zegras made his return to Honda Center following a trade in June that sent him to Philadelphia in exchange for forward Ryan Poehling and a pair of draft picks. After not practicing on Tuesday or participating in morning skate on Wednesday, Troy Terry remained in the Ducks lineup, in his typical spot on the top line, next to Leo Carlsson.

Mason McTavish was a healthy scratch for the second straight game, joining defenseman Drew Helleson in the press box. Here’s how the Ducks lined up in this game: Kreider-Carlsson-Terry Killorn-Granlund-Sennecke Viel-Poehling-Gauthier Vatrano-Washe-Harkins LaCombe-Trouba Zellweger-Carlson Mintyukov-Moore Lukas Dostal got the start for the Ducks in this game and stopped 24 of 27 shots. He was opposed by Dan Vladar in the Flyers’ crease, who saved 34 of 36.

“Offensively, we had some momentum and got rewarded there with a nice play around the net,” Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville said. “It’s a hard-fought game. They were better than us in the first half, and then we got way more competitive and put us in a good spot.
