Anaheim Ducks forward Devante Smith-Pelly is "ready to go" following a three-game absence with a shoulder injury, head coach Bruce Boudreau said.
The Ducks' boss didn't explicitly state that Smith-Pelly would be in the lineup for Thursday's game with the Vancouver Canucks, but his presence is expected for what figures to be an emotional game at Rogers Arena.
Smith-Pelly has played in top-six roles this year, but has just three goals and seven points on the season.
