Head Coach Dallas Eakins has confirmed that Ondrej Kase will return to the lineup tonight against the Minnesota Wild. After an unfortunate collision during the game against the Dallas Stars, Kase has been sidelined for the last five contests with a bruised jaw. His return to the lineup could give the Anaheim Ducks a big boost of energy that has been missing since his injury.
The Ducks have won two of the last three games in their homestand, but something has been missing. Their first periods are weak, and it often leads to the opposing team walking into the first intermission with the advantage.
