So he ends up playing about 13 games total this season, if he's really being shut down. What a waste.

I know there was a report he returned to skating on the ice, but there's gotta be something more than precaution if the org wants to shut him down for the rest of the year. What other info on his injury has caused this action?

It's a sad outcome for Luneau. It's gonna be difficult to project him on the NHL roster to start the next season. That means we are down two NHL RD roster spots for next season with the trading away of Drysdale and now Luneau's complications.

Unlikely to see Tristan Luneau with the Tigers

Due to his medical condition, the chances are slim of seeing Tristan Luneau with the Victoriaville Tigres.

According to the Anaheim Ducks medical team, the season of the right-handed defenseman, who celebrated his 20th birthday on January 12, could well be over. This was made known by Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek during a call with Tigers general manager Kevin Cloutier.

Luneau, victim of an infection, did not start skating again. However, he has started training in the gym again and is continuing his rehabilitation. His situation is considered stable. During the All-Star game break in the National Hockey League, Luneau even trained with Noah Warren at the Colisée Desjardins and attended the game between the Tigres and the Drummondville Voltigeurs.

“The chances of seeing him with us are slim, but the door is not completely closed. If he puts on his skates again this season, it will be with the Tigers,” mentioned Kevin Cloutier.

To obtain his services from the Gatineau Olympics, the GM of the Tigres gave up a conditional fifth round pick in 2024. A 2025 fifth round pick from the Olympics will return to the Tigres if Luneau does not put on the uniform of the Victoriaville team. Ducks management can send him back no later than March 8.

This season, before ending up in the infirmary, Tristan Luneau played seven games with the Ducks, collecting one goal and two assists. He also played with the American Hockey League's farm club, the San Diego Gulls, where he recorded two assists in six games.
