With Radko Gudas and Pavel Mintyukov continuing to battle lower-body injuries, the Ducks have brought up some extra defensive depth heading into tonight’s game against Calgary. The team announced (Twitter link) that blueliner Tyson Hinds has been recalled from AHL San Diego.
It’s the first recall of the season for the 23-year-old and third of his career although he’s still looking to make his NHL debut. Hinds was a third-round pick by the Ducks back in 2021, going 76th overall out of QMJHL Rimouski. Moved to Sherbrooke soon after, Hinds had a big jump in production in 2022-23, his final junior season, where he tallied 54 points in 56 games.
However, that offensive output hasn’t carried over to the AHL. Over his three professional seasons, Hinds has collected a total of 47 points. A career-best 19 of those have come in 2025-26 as Hinds has five goals and 14 assists through 62 appearances with San Diego so far this season.
Even with the injuries, Anaheim still has six healthy blueliners, unless another player’s availability is in question for tonight. If so, Hinds’ recall would fall under emergency status and not count against their post-deadline limit. If not, he will be one of their five allowable post-deadline regular recalls.
