ANAHEIM — Andrew Cogliano found himself in an unfamiliar position Friday.

He was on the ice with his teammates, which was to be expected. He skated with his customary speed around the rink, going through all the usual drills and working up a sweat, which wasn’t a surprise.

However, Cogliano formed a line with Carter Rowney and Brian Gibbons, two free agents who signed during the offseason. Cogliano’s usual linemates, Ryan Kesler and Jacob Silfverberg, skated in different groups, another example of the change that’s swept through the Ducks’ training camp.

Status quo is taking a beating this month.

Kesler skated on the Olympic-sized rink at Anaheim Ice, continuing his long, slow build-up from major hip surgery in 2017. He hasn’t been cleared for contact and it’s doubtful he’ll be sound enough to start the season with his teammates Oct. 3 in San Jose.

Silfverberg flipped from right wing to left to join Adam Henrique and Ondrej Kase on a line for Friday’s practice on the main rink. It’s possible Silfverberg, Henrique and Kase skate together for the season-opening game and beyond as the Ducks seek new combinations for a new season.

Shutdown Line 2.0 has been decommissioned.

“I think we will try to explore all the options and that’s in the drawer if we need it,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle of possibly switching up a line that had been kept largely intact since 2014-15, the season of Kesler’s arrival via an offseason trade with the Vancouver Canucks.

“We think we are going to experiment and see if there’s a new grouping and see if some of them can make a contribution. But it’s not ever cast in stone. The reason you would go back to it is if the other things don’t work. Some people would say, ‘Why are you changing it?’

“In sports, there have to be changes. You have to elevate. We have to create more of an up-tempo style and I don’t know if holding that line together, in its present-day form, will allow us to have the same impact it had previously, with the way we are going to line people up.”

When they were at their best, creating scoring chances and frustrating opponents’ top lines, the Cogliano-Kesler-Silfverberg line drew favorable comparisons to the Shutdown Line originals of Travis Moen, Samuel Pahlsson and Rob Niedermayer of the Ducks’ 2006-07 Stanley Cup championship team.

Cogliano, Kesler and Silfverberg helped the Ducks reach the Western Conference finals in 2014-15 and 2016-17. Kesler’s hip surgery and ineffective play over 44 games last season necessitated changes to that line and others last season.

Cogliano sounded wistful Friday at the notion of their impending breakup to start 2018-19.

“At this point, he’s not playing, or he’s not starting the year, so we won’t be together,” Cogliano said of Kesler. “There have to be some changes and we’ll see where I fit and we’ll see where Silfverberg ends up. At the end of the day, we can’t be a unit because (Kesler) is not ready to go, not ready to play.”

It’s injected a new level of uncertainty into Cogliano’s training camp, much to his chagrin.

“With a line like that, you basically just put your skates on and you know what you’re going to get every game and every practice,” he said. “It’s a little frustrating, a little tough, because it worked out so well. It was a line that brought a lot to the team. It was a line that was pretty unique.

“But I think you’re going to have to adapt at this point.”

ROSTER MOVES UPCOMING

The Ducks are expected to make a number of roster moves this weekend, sending several players back to their junior-level or their European teams. The San Diego Gulls, the Ducks’ AHL team, will open their training camp at 10:30 a.m. Monday at Anaheim Ice.
