Following back-to-back healthy scratches, Anaheim Ducks defenseman Pavel Mintyukov expressed his desire to be moved if he's not going to play, according to Elliotte Friedman.

Mintyukov has recently fallen behind Jackson LaCombe and Olen Zellweger on the left side. Ian Moore, who had a strong training camp has filled in for his place on the third defensive pairing.

Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek isn't expected to rush a move for the 21-year old defenseman, who the Ducks selected 10th overall in 2022.

Through 18 games this season, has no goals, three assists, a plus one rating and two penalty minutes.
