The Anaheim Ducks have recently placed forward Robby Fabbri and defenseman Cam Fowler on the injured reserve list. This decision was made by the team before their home game against Vegas. To fill the gaps left by these players, Anaheim called up center Jansen Harkins and defenseman Drew Helleson from their AHL affiliate in San Diego.
Fowler was unable to play in the Ducks’ last two games due to an upper-body injury. As a key defenseman for the team, Fowler has been leading the Ducks in ice time this season and has contributed two assists in 12 games. He is also a crucial player on the penalty-killing units for the team.
On the other hand, Fabbri, who joined Anaheim last summer in a trade with Detroit, has scored two goals in 14 games for the Ducks. Unfortunately, he missed practice on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury after playing against Columbus on Sunday.
Although forward Mason McTavish also missed the game against the Blue Jackets due to an upper-body injury, he has not been placed on the injured reserve list. The Ducks managed to end a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Blue Jackets on Sunday, improving their record to 5-7-2.
Injuries are always a concern for any sports team, and the Ducks will need to rely on their depth and resilience to overcome the absence of key players like Fowler and Fabbri. The team will be looking to other players to step up and fill the void left by these talented individuals.
Despite the challenges posed by injuries, the Ducks have shown that they have the ability to bounce back and secure important wins. The resilience and determination of the team will be crucial as they navigate through this period of adversity. Fans can look forward to seeing how the team will adapt and continue to compete at a high level in the upcoming games.
