"Ø"Ø ABOUT THE DUCKS
Anaheim is close to having centre Nate Thompson back in the lineup after missing the first three games of the series. Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said he has looked good at practice and will be evaluated again today, but is listed as day-to-day. The Ducks used Tomas Fleischmann at centre on Monday and he played 11:23 while registering two shots on goal.
As well, goaltender John Gibson -- who has been out for the whole series as well -- was on the ice practising in full on Tuesday. The Ducks hope to have him ready within the next week.
