Today marks the 100th day since the Anaheim Ducks have had an entirely healthy defensive unit. 100 days ago, Simon Despres took a nasty hit to the head and has since been out with post concussion issues. Despres began skating around christmas time and has since been sent to the AHL on a conditioning loan.
Last night marked game four for Despres’ AHL stint and it was only fitting that he scored a goal in his potential last game with the Gulls. Last night was also the second end of a back-to-back for Despres and the Gulls and if he felt fine this morning, all signs would then point to his return to the Ducks coming this week.
