Status report
The Ducks are expected to dress the same lineup they used in a 5-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday. … Lettieri, a forward, was recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. … Doughty is expected to return after missing 16 games with a knee contusion. ... Lemieux will not play; the forward was scheduled to have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for biting Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk during a 4-2 win Saturday. … Byfield, a center, returned to practice Sunday for the first time since he was injured in a preseason game against the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 5.
