The veteran forward has missed nine games with an upper-body injury, but he says he has set returning during their upcoming four-game road trip as a goal.
November 23, 2022 at 8:31 p.m.ANAHEIM — Ducks forward Derek Grant hasn’t played since Nov. 3, out of the lineup with an upper-body injury. He was on the ice for Wednesday’s morning skate and he said he feels he is getting closer to returning.
The Ducks play at home on Friday and again Sunday before leaving on a four-game trip, which begins Tuesday in Nashville. Grant said he has set that trip as a “goal in my head.”Grant was not on the recent three-game trip and said he watched one of the two St. Louis games with injured defenseman Jamie Drysdale, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
“The coach can tell you whatever and you can have it in your head,” he said. “There’s something about one of your teammates telling you that we need more from you or whatever the case is. Teammates holding each other accountable. It brings everyone closer. That’s where our accountability needs to come from.”The Ducks started out using six defensemen against the Rangers. The defense pairs were Cam Fowler-Dmitry Kulikov; Simon Benoit-John Klingberg; and Colton White-Kevin Shattenkirk.
