Gudas Returns, Martone Signs, Goalie Shuffle

0:00On March 29th, Anaheim Ducks' defenseman, Radco Goudus, is back from a five-game suspension, but might sit out against the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 30th. He tweaked his ankle bad in a hit during the March 26th game, versus Calgary, and has been spotted in a walking boot since. Earlier this week against Edmonton, he didn't play, but insiders like Elliot Friedman say Goudus is pushing hard to suit up no matter what. He's seen doctors today to check that ankle, and he knows the Leafs won payback for that knee on knee hit that sideline Austin Matthews last time. They met. Over in Philly, the fires are close to signing Top Prospect Porter Martone, their six overall pick from the 2025 draft. The freshman tore it up in the NCAA with 25 goals and 50 points, fourth in league scoring after dominating Junior Hockey. Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators turned to back up James Rimer for their game against Tampa Bay, because Linus Allmark needed a rest. Coach Travis Green once Allmark out there every night, but after a heavy shot game versus Pittsburgh, it made sense with Rimer stepping up solid.
