Anaheim Ducks forward Troy Terry will miss the start of the 2026‑27 campaign after hip surgery. The team confirmed the procedure on June 9, targeting a 5‑6 month recovery that could see him return only by mid‑November and would likely miss the Ducks' first 30 games before a late-season push to regain full strength today.

During the 2025‑26 season, Terry played 61 games, the fewest since 2020‑21, yet netted 19 goals and 57 points. He was only 11 points shy of his 2021‑22 total that sparked a breakout. His playoff output—three goals, 11 points in 12 games—kept Anaheim on pace for a postseason berth and a first playoff appearance.

With Terry sidelined, the Ducks must rely on depth to fill his scoring void. Coach Matt McLellan emphasized conditioning for the roster during his absence, noting that the team’s offensive output could dip without his presence. The injury also places pressure on the Ducks to secure a solid forward core before the next season for.

Terry’s absence reshapes Anaheim’s playoff hopes, forcing the club to reassess its forward strategy. Fans will see a gap in power‑play execution and power‑play points. While the Ducks remain competitive on the power‑play side, losing his puck‑handling and veteran presence could reduce their edge in tight games for the remainder of the season in competition.
