Analysis:

The Ducks moved center William Karlsson to injured reserve in a corresponding move, clearing the way for Smith-Pelly to rejoin the lineup following a three-game absence. Though Smith-Pelly was enjoying a top-line role prior to sustaining his injury, it looks like the Ducks will tab him for checking-line duties in his return.
