Defending Champs Hit with Key Injury

Mathieu Schneider was supposed to be an insurance policy this season in case their team captain decided to retire. Now he will be out for at least the next four weeks with a broken bone in his left ankle.

The question now is, will this injury force the Ducks to convince Niedermayer to return for another season?

Plus, the Ducks are still waiting to hear from Teemu Selanne on his plans for the upcoming season.

It looks as though Anaheim has some questions to answer before their season begins.
