was wearing a walking boot on his right foot Monday after sustaining what Coach Randy Carlyle called a lower-body injury in the team’s 6-3 victory at Edmonton on Sunday.
Eaves played only three shifts in the third period and wasn’t on the ice for the final 8 ½ minutes. He has been productive during the playoffs, having scored two goals and four points.
Carlyle said an evaluation of the injury was made, but, as is typical this time of year, he wouldn’t disclose the results.
“We don’t really have much more to say until we get another evaluation, another 24 hours away,” he said after the team’s optional skate at Prospera Place in Kelowna, Canada, the Ducks’ rest-and-recreation site before Game 4 on Wednesday.
