Ducks forward Perron week-to-week with shoulder injury

"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report

The Anaheim Ducks will be without forward David Perron for an unknown period of time.

Perron was placed on injured reserve on Monday with a shoulder injury, and is considered week-to-week.

Perron sustained the injury sustained in an overtime victory against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.

Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau made the announcement on Monday.

"I don’t know how bad it is but I assume it’s week-to-week," Boudreau said after practice at Bell Sports Complex. "We’re on the road for eight more days. I’ve got to believe it’s week-to-week at this point.

"He’s out for the trip. If he’s going to go home, he’s not going to come back. It’d be lovely if he could and meet us in Edmonton or something but I’m not counting on it."

The Ducks were 21-5-2 this season with Perron in the lineup.

Ducks trade Hagelin to Penguins for Perron, Clendening

"The Neutral Zone" Roster Report

Carl Hagelin

The Anaheim Ducks have traded forward Carl Hagelin to the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward David Perron and defenceman Adam Clendening.

The Ducks announced the trade Friday night after their victory over Dallas.

Hagelin had four goals and eight assists in 43 games with the Ducks. Anaheim acquired him in an off-season trade with the New York Rangers for Emerson Etem, and then signed him to a four-year, $16 million contract.

The speedy Hagelin struggled to find a scoring groove with the Ducks, who have the NHL's lowest-scoring offence by far this season.

Perron is a three-time 20-goal scorer who has only 16 points in 43 games this season with the Penguins. The physical left wing spent his first six NHL seasons with St. Louis. Pittsburgh acquired Perron from Edmonton for a 2015 first-round pick and Rob Klinkhammer last January.

Clendening has five points in 30 career NHL games.
