Ducks Perry to miss 6 weeks

Anaheim Ducks have lost their top scorer for up to 6 weeks.  Corey Perry, who has 29 Goals & 25 Assists this season is out due to a lacerated tendon in his left knee.

The injury occured during the third period of the Ducks 0-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

“Corey is doing very well this morning, thanks to both clubs’ medical staffs,” Ducks general manager Brian Burke said Friday. “His injury is not career-threatening and we expect him back 100 percent in approximately six weeks.”

The Anaheim Ducks, who have begun to gain momentum with the return of Selanne and Neidermayer will no doubt miss Perry’s scoring prowess, and will need to work hard to maintain the pace they have been on.

West Heating Up

Going into the All Star break this year many people you could have been forgiven for assuming the Red Wings were guaranteed to take out the conference at the end of the regular season.

Who would have thought that the Red Wings, who dominated the season to that point in the competition would come out of the break looking like another, far less impressive team.

At the point of the All Star break, the Red Wings had a 17 point lead over the closest competitor. After todays loss to the Dallas Stars, their 6th loss in a row, that lead has been cut to just 8 points.

If the Red Wings are not scared yet, they should be. The Dallas Stars are on a roll and have their sights set on that top spot. 6 points behind Dallas are the defending champions, the Anaheim Ducks, who have yet to see the success they expected after the return of Scott Neidermayer and Teemu Selanne.

The west is a hot spot, and in the battle for the top 8 spots, there are in fact 12 teams still battling it out with realistic chances of making the top 8.
