It’s very easy to lose sight of the other players on the Ducks, pending free agents, who the Ducks are more likely to move come the trade deadline. The Ducks have six forwards that will be free agents at the end of the season, and only two (Teemu Selanne, Saku Koivu) have some form of no trade clause. Jason Blake is a name that jumps out when looking at that list. He has had some injuries this year that have limited him to just 20 games, but in that span he has nine points (5-4-9), that’s about a 40 point pace. Signed at $4 million, he fits under the cap for the Rangers as well. Perhaps the best part about Blake is that he would come relatively cheap, or at least much cheaper than Selanne or Ryan. He also comes with less risk than Rick Nash or Jeff Carter, as both of them are signed until I turn 40. Blake is no longer the 40 goal threat he was with the Islanders, but he still has ...

Bobby Ryan and Nick Bonino also scored to help the Ducks win for the fifth time in six games. Anaheim's only loss in that span was a 1-0 overtime defeat in Calgary. Cody Hodgson and Mason Raymond scored for the Canucks. Blake, who returned to the lineup on Jan. 4 after missing 34 games while recovering from a severe skate cut, also scored in Friday's 5-0 win at Edmonton.

Blake, who has been out since cutting his wrist on a skate on October 14, is practicing regularly and head coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters he expects to see Blake on the ice either Wednesday, versus the San Jose Sharks, or Friday, against the New York Islanders. Blake’s original time table called for a mid-January return. He has played in only three games this year and boasts a minus-1 rating. The Ducks are also expecting to return center Saku Koivu next Friday. He’s been out with a groin injury since Dec. 8 and has five goals and 10 assists on the season.

The Ducks made the move before Sunday's game against St. Louis to replace veteran left wing Jason Blake, who will be out three months with tendon damage in his left forearm. Maroon scored 48 points in 57 games for Syracuse last season. The 6-foot-4 power forward had five points in his first two games with the Crunch this season. The 23-year-old Maroon has never played in the NHL, but scored a preseason goal for the Ducks last month. Anaheim acquired Maroon from Philadelphia last November, several weeks after the Flyers dismissed him from their organization. Maroon reportedly clashed with Philadelphia's AHL coaches and management.

He was kind of behind me” Burns, continued: ” ...the puck was there and I was trying to kick the puck up and I think he was trying to get the puck. It was just a battle and I didn’t even know he was on the ground.” -David Pollak’s Twitter feed All seem to agree that it was a freak accident, but one of the things that tends to happen when things are going badly is someone gets hurt.
