Both Hedman and Malone have upper body issues that Boucher said need to be reassessed
Consider Hedman day-to-day until we hear further from Guy Boucher.
Corey Perry's 8 year deal with ANA is $8.625M AAV.
Perry will remain in Anaheim for the next eight years along with Ryan Getzlaf. The two have inked eight year deals this season for very similar money. Perry gets $69 million over eight years, while Getzlaf gets $66 million. Perry has 214 goals and 239 assists for a total of 453 points in 555 career NHL games, all of which have been with the Ducks.
Corey Perry gets a four-game suspension. #NHLDucks
Perry gets suspended for blindside, hit to the head on Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker. Suspension video on link.
But they're likely to lose Perry to a suspension for his hit on Zucker.
The NHL will likely rule on this tomorrow but wide speculation is that Perry will get at least a game for the hit. Perry was given a 5-min major and a game misconduct.
McDonagh says he is in.
McDonagh will return to the Rangers blueline tonight after sitting out their last game. McDonagh has 32 points and was a +25 last season but has struggled to produce offensively this season. He only has two goals and three assists in 17 games this season. McDonagh will return to the Rangers top-pair with Daniel Girardi.
Ryan McDonagh, who missed last night's game w/ an undisclosed injury (feared a concussion), is on the ice before #NYR practice
There is no timetable for McDonagh's return but the fact that he is skating is a positive sign. Monitor is status prior to tomorrow's game vs. Tampa Bay.
McDonagh did not participate in the morning skate.
It doesn't look like McDonagh will be in the lineup for the Rangers tonight after injuring his face and head in Saturday's game. There is word that McDonagh may have suffered a concussion on the hit by Max Pacioretty, but the injury still remains undisclosed.
Ryan McDonagh, left Saturday night’s 3-0 loss to the Canadiens in the second period after Montreal forward Max Pacioretty put an elbow in McDonagh’s back and drove him facefirst into the glass, cutting the defenseman’s lip and potentially causing a concussion.
McDonagh had just started to heat-up offensively after a slow start to the season. Monitor his status in the next couple of days to see if he does have a concussion. This is a tough break for the Rangers who will be without both their top-2 defenceman.
D Hedman (illness) expected to play vs Bos
Look for Hedman to draw back in tonight after being a late scratch last night. He has four goals and 16 points in 54 games.
Hedman is out tonight due to illness.
Hedman likely misses a game or two. Head coach Guy Boucher now has the option of dressing six forwards or subbing in Mike Commodore.
Confirming....Corey Perry is playing tonight. #GoNHLDucks
Perry said he's getting better every day, felt good today, but will see how he feels later, likely a game time decision. #NHLDucks
Perry remains questionable to play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Corey Perry (shoulder) and Luca Sbisa (back) on the ice for Ducks morning skate.
Perry remains questionable to play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Per Ducks, Corey Perry scratched.
As expected, Perry won't play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Boudreau said Perry and Sbisa are available but doesn't mean they'll play. Translation: Perry doubtful.
Doesn't sound like you should bank on Perry playing tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Corey Perry (shoulder) skated before practice and then first 15 minutes of practice. No word yet on availability vs. Detroit on Wed.
Perry skating is certainly a good sign but he has not real update on his status. The reigning MVP only missed last night's game and was a game-time decision.
Corey Perry (shoulder) is not on the ice at Pepsi Center while rest of Ducks are. Not good sign for availability tonight.
Sounds like Perry won't play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Perry was in obvious pain on the bench and eventually went to the locker room before he tried to return to the first period. The winger could only play another two shifts as he would call it a night.
Perry is definitely banged up after last night's game. With the Ducks in the middle of a playoff run, expect him to try his best to stay in. After scoring 50 goals last year, Perry has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Lightning D Hedman (upper body) says and Boucher confirms Hedman might play Tues vs Sens.
Check back tomorrow for an official update on Hedman. He has three goals and 13 points in 45 games.
