With the conclusion of their season the Anaheim Ducks have returned the roster-eligible Sam Steel, Max Jones and Jacob Larsson to the Gulls.

Steel finished his first NHL campaign with 11 points in 22 games including 6 goals and 5 assists.  He had 6 points in his final 5 games with the Ducks including a hat trick on March 26th against the Vancouver Canucks.

Jones finished with 5 points in 30 games in his rookie campaign with the Ducks while skating in a mostly fourth line capacity – he had 3 points in his final 5 games including a multi assist night against the Kings in the final game of the regular season.

Larsson had 5 points in 49 games, giving him 5 points in 53 games for his total NHL career thus far.  He has 5 points in 19 games with the Gulls thus far this season.

Brendan Guhle is also roster eligible but is likely to remain with the parent club while his injury is assessed.

Look for Gulls captain Jacob Megna to be returned tomorrow as his waiver eligibility means that it needs to be a day after the Ducks season has ended before he can be returned without needing to clear waivers.
