Troy Terry Played Through a Labral Tear and Nobody in Anaheim Is Ready For The Next 5-6 Months

Alright, you guys, buckle up! The news coming out of Anaheim just hit harder than a McCann slapshot, and honestly, you gotta hear this. Ducks forward Troy Terry, the guy who was *supposed* to be a big deal for them next season, just went under the knife for a hip impingement and a nasty labral tear. And get this: they're saying he's out for a staggering five to six months. We're talking mid-November to mid-December for his earliest possible return. Ouch. Talk about a rough start to the 2026-27 season for our SoCal rivals.

The Brutal Truth Behind Anaheim's Playoff Run

Can you believe this? Back in May, the Ducks dropped the bomb that Terry had been playing through a *chronic* hip impingement. Yeah, during their whole playoff run! They actually made it to the postseason for the first time since way back in 2018. Remember that? They even pushed their second-round series against the eventual Western Conference champion Vegas Golden Knights to six games before getting knocked out. And Terry was doing all that with a bum hip. Seriously, the guy was playing on fumes. He finally had surgery on June 9, and now the long road to recovery has officially begun. It just puts a whole new spin on their playoff performance, doesn't it? What could've been if he was healthy?

e Production Despite the Pain Despite fighting through that hip injury all season, Terry was still a force. He was limited to 61 games in 2025-26, his fewest appearances since the pandemic-shortened 2020-21 season when he only played 48. Yet, he still racked up 19 goals and 57 points. That's some serious production for a guy clearly not at 100 percent. He was only 11 points shy of his breakout 2021-22 season total of 67 points, which is wild to think about. And then in the playoffs? He really stepped up, scoring three goals and registering 11 points in just 12 games. He was averaging 17:55 in ice time, too, which ranked him fourth among Ducks forwards. He even finished tied with Leo Carlsson for second on the team in postseason points. The dude was instrumental in getting them to the playoffs, no doubt. Imagine what he could have done without that chronic pain. So, what does this all mean for the Ducks? Well, with Terry sidelined until at least November, they're going to be without one of their key offensive weapons for a significant chunk of the start of the season. It's a huge blow for them, especially after their first playoff appearance in years. While we're out here watching our Kraken boys do their thing, the Ducks will be trying to figure out how to fill a massive hole. Here's hoping for a speedy, full recovery for him, but let's be real, it's a tough break for Anaheim. Go Kraken!
