Anaheim Ducks forward Troy Terry is expected to make his 2026-27 season debut on Wednesday as the Ducks play host to the Nashville Predators.

Terry, 29, has missed the Ducks’ first 18 games of the 2026-27 regular season while recovering from summer hip surgery. Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville said Tuesday that Terry is “likely” to play as the Ducks welcome the Predators to the Honda Center on Wednesday.

In 61 games with the Ducks during the 2025-26 regular season, Terry collected 19 goals and 57 points. The Denver product added three goals and 11 points in 12 playoff contests as the Ducks defeated the Edmonton Oilers in the first round before being eliminated by the Vegas Golden Knights.

A four-time 20-goal scorer, Terry has consistently been one of the Ducks’ most dangerous offensive players since establishing himself as an NHL regular in the 2020-21 season. In his absence, the Ducks have gotten off to a 10-7-1 start to the 2026-27 season, posting a plus-3 goal differential.

The Ducks originally selected Terry in the fifth round (No. 148 overall) of the 2015 NHL Draft. The 6’0″ right wing spent his first three post-draft seasons playing close to home at the University of Denver, suiting up for Team USA along the way at both the 2017 World Juniors and the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Terry signed with the Ducks in 2018 and gradually developed into a top-six scoring forward for the club, topping out with 37 goals and 67 points in 75 games during the 2021-22 season. He played an instrumental role in the Ducks ending their seven-year playoff drought in the 2025-26 season.

In 488 career NHL games over parts of nine seasons with the Ducks, Terry has collected 135 goals and 342 points. He remains under contract with the Ducks through the end of the 2029-30 season at a $7 million annual cap hit.
