Times are tough for the Anaheim Ducks, and the latest news doesn’t paint a picture that’s one bit rosier.
The team announced that defenseman Simon Despres is still dealing with a concussion suffered from a hit that took place about a month ago. The one bright side is that he’s at least starting the process when it comes to getting better.
GM Bob Murray said that it will still be about a week or two before Despres is even cleared for physical contact.
In other Ducks news, Anaheim recalled Nick Ritchie and Michael Sgarbossa while sending Max Friberg and Korbinian Holzer to the AHL.
