Just four days before the Ducks’ season opener, the goalie leaves the game after the first period against the Kings with an upper-body injury
October 8, 2022 at 5:43 p.m.LOS ANGELES — Could the Ducks manage to get through the preseason without suffering another injury to another key player?Good fortune seems to be taking this preseason off and the trend continued with the Ducks’ No. 1 goalie, John Gibson, suffering an upper-body injury in the first period against the Kings. The Kings squandered a three-goal lead in the second period and reasserted themselves in the third, defeating the Ducks 6-3 on Saturday afternoon at Crypto.
“He took a number of shots up high and early,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. “I was impressed that he got through the period. We’ll get an update on him tomorrow.The Ducks have been hit by a series of injuries in the preseason, starting with Trevor Zegras in his first preseason game on Sept. 28, followed by defenseman Urho Vaakanainen’s brief hospitalization two nights later after going hard into the end boards at Honda Center.
Said Eakins: “It was OK. That’s what we’ve got to remember. It was literally his first game. I was just glad he made it through it. Had the puck a little bit. That’s just a step in the right direction that he made it through the game.” “It was awesome to be back on the bench,” said Arvidsson, who had two assists. “It was good to be with my teammates and around my teammates for the last week and being able to practice with them.
