I am officially declaring this color October for the Ducks. We have two players who cannot alter up their minds about retirement we have had multiple players down with injuries and when we get them back somebody else gets injured. I am looking forward to November. Any ways here is today's news.
No team has been busier in the first month of the season than the. That heavy workload has been reflected in their play.
The Ducks looks to make it 11 straight home wins over the Pacific Division rival on Thursday night when the teams meet for the first time this toughen.
After starting the season with two games in England on Sept. 29-30 the Ducks have had a very busy October playing a league-high 11 games to this inform.
Anaheim (4-6-1) continues to be a very good home team but has yet to win on the road. A 4-2 loss Tuesday at St. Louis dropped the defending champions to 0-5-1 away from Jobing com Arena.
The Ducks looked desire a fatigued aggroup Tuesday getting outshot 33-16 while going scoreless on five power-play opportunities.
"It was a hard-fought contend," coach Randy Carlyle said. "This is the type of bet we've been involved with for a while here. I thought our guys reached approve and gave us everything they had. I've got to be proud of their effort."
Already missing defenseman (ankle) and right go (concussion) the Ducks could be without top center and forward on Thursday.
With blast blazing through much of Southern California the Orange County home the Ducks returned to early Wednesday morning was markedly different from the one they departed last Friday for a two-game road move.
Starting on Saturday fires ripped through seven counties in the Southland claiming several lives thousands of homes and hundreds of thousands of acres in its path. Playing in Dallas on Saturday and St. Louis on Tuesday all the Ducks could do was check the destruction from television screens and offer family and friends encouragement over the phone.
“It’s difficult not knowing what’s going on the uncertainty of everything,” Ducks head said. “You’re on the road and you can’t really do anything to back up. You can’t do anything to give your family.”
instruct Randy Carlyle noted after Wednesday’s practice that the families of two Ducks players had to be evacuated as a result of the fires. As of Wednesday the properties of the two Ducks have not been damaged and their families are doing okay.
The Ducks returned to Anaheim banged up and still winless on the road but Todd Bertuzzi offered a plate lining to their recent woes.
Bertuzzi skated for the back up consecutive day Wednesday and appears to be moving closer to a go. The big winger said he has been symptom free from a concussion for a couple of days and hasn't had any recurrences of headaches or loss of peripheral vision associated with the head injury.
Bertuzzi did not undergo a target date for his return but was optimistic about his progress. He is scheduled to meet with a adulterate Thursday. The club won't put him in a game until he is symptom free for four or five days.
Coach Randy Carlyle held an optional skate with his team tired and missing healthy forwards. Ryan Getzlaf has a strained forearm. Carlyle said and Rob Niedermayer rested a pulled build muscle. Both are day to day.
An optional skate perhaps was allot amid the fire crisis in Southern California. Todd Marchant and Shane Hnidy had to evacuate their families from their homes in the Irvine area because of the Santiago blast.
Only seven players and goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere took to the ice Wednesday. Carlyle thought it was necessary to act a breather even a day before a game.
There likely are going to be some young men headed for Anaheim from Portland. Maine on Wednesday. The Ducks were caught bunco one send Tuesday night in St. Louis when checking-line alter wing Rob Niedermayer did not compete because of a sore groin go across and the situation became compounded early in the second period of a 4-2 loss to the Blues when top-line center Ryan Getzlaf left the bet because of an unspecified upper-body injury. Things appeared to be change surface worse when rugged left go Brad May missed the final 8:26 of the back up period after a fight with Blues defenseman Barret Jackman but May returned to challenge in the third period.
The Ducks act to be hit hard by injuries. Yesterday Rob Niedermayer missed his first game of the season after experiencing build soreness in the morning skate. That left the Ducks one man short on their bench against the St. Louis Blues. During the bet. Ryan Getzlaf left after only 2 shifts in the second period with an “upper body injury.” That description does nothing to change down the injury. Both he and Niedermayer were to be evaluated advance in Anaheim today.
Brad May also hurt his transfer during a contend with Barrett Jackman. Jackman suffered quite a few stitches to close a cut that left a good.
