The Ducks could have another top-six forward back in the fold.
Patrick Eaves, who was sidelined for the team’s first three games this season, practiced Wednesday and could make his 2017 debut Wednesday night against the New York Islanders.
Eaves skated on the top line alongside Ryan Getzlaf (who returned Monday) and Corey Perry.
“I guess I don’t really have any expectations,” said Eaves, who missed most of training camp and the entire preseason with a lower-body injury. “I’ll see how I feel tonight and go from there — just go out there and win.
