The incident took place in the second period of Friday’s 3-0 win over Anaheim.
As you can tell in the video above, not only did Barrie leap into Despres but he also got him with a shoulder to the head. Despres was forced to leave the game soon after the collision.
Not getting any better for Ducks. Team announces that Simon Despres is doubtful to return. Upper-body injury.

After Saturday’s practice, head coach Bruce Boudreau shed some light on Despre’s upper-body injury.
After today's practice, Boudreau said defenseman Simon Despres (upper-body) "felt off" and would be re-evaluated on Monday.

In what’s believed to be a corresponding move, the Ducks have recalled defensemen Korbinian Holzer and Shea Theodore from AHL San Diego.
