7 years agoAnaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa won't be able to help the team much on its playoff push anymore, as he's been ruled out for two to five weeks following hand surgery. Bieksa has been in and out of the lineup lately, though he started the month well, picking up assists in consecutive games. However, the veteran blue-liner finished Monday's 4-2 loss to St. Louis with a minus-three, which was probably the final sign that he needs to get healthy before playing again. Marcus Pettersson picked up minutes on the bottom pairing instead of Bieksa in the last game. He's registered one goal and eight shots in his first 11 career games this season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
