Janis Carr of the OC Register: The Ducks will be without Corey Perry for three to four weeks with a sprained left knee. He should be able to return during their homestand that starts on New Year’s Eve against the Sharks.
Anaheim Ducks: Perry: “The day after it was pretty stiff, but it’s feeling better every day. We’re thankful it was only a sprain and not a tear.”
Anaheim Ducks: Bruce Boudreau on Perry: “We were all holding our breath. You always hope a player can heal quicker. We won’t rush Corey Perry.”
Lance Pugmire: John Gibson practiced today and will see how he is tomorrow. Not sure on when he’ll return.
Eric Stephens: The Ducks sign Ilya Bryzgalov to a one-year deal worth $2.88 million.
James Mirtle: Bryzgalov will be sent to the AHL on a conditioning stint, then will be recalled.
Dennis Bernstein: Bryzgalov will have a higher salary and cap hit than Frederik Andersen, John Gibson and Jason LaBarbera combined.
