12/7: Zegras will undergo additional testing on Monday to determine how long he’ll miss, per Sporstnet’s Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines. This could be a chance to learn more about what seemed to be a low-contact injury. Zegras underwent surgery in January to repair a fracture in his left ankle – the same ankle that he seemed to injure on Wednesday – though it’s unclear if the two injuries are related in any way.
12/6: Trevor Zegras’ game-ending injury from a few nights ago will now extend over at least a week. The depth chart manager for The Hockey News and PuckPedia reported that the Anaheim Ducks would place Zegras on injured reserve with a lower-body injury and activate Brock McGinn (X Link).
Zegras quickly left partway through the second period of Wednesday’s contest and couldn’t put any weight on one of his legs. The Anaheim youngster finished the game with a -1 rating over 6:08 of ice time.
There have been no further updates regarding the severity of Zegras’ injury. Still, it was expected he wouldn’t play in the Ducks’ next game after Derek Lee of The Hockey News reported he wasn’t at practice this morning. Zegras will only miss two games should he miss the minimum seven days on the injured reserve. It may be a chance for him to reset on the season as the former 65-point scorer only has four goals and 10 points through 24 contests this year.
McGinn’s return to the active roster might not be Anaheim’s only positive injury development. Lee also shared that Robby Fabbri was back on the ice for the team’s practice this morning despite being on week three of a six-week recovery timeline. Lee’s fellow writer at The Hockey News, Patrick Present, additionally reported that Leo Carlsson was back on the ice in a non-contact jersey.
Anaheim has had a fair number of injury concerns through the first quarter of the 2024-25 NHL season but that appears to be ending soon. The Ducks are on a pathway toward a fully healthy lineup in the coming weeks combined with today’s acquisition of defenseman Jacob Trouba from the New York Rangers.
Zegras is usually injured, Or he does a disappearing act on the ice, It’s a crime that he’s 3rd in ice time for Ducks forwards! Incredibly undeserving.
Get over it already. You’re a known Z hater.
Tough freak injury when Wild Bill’s skate took Zegas’s leg out. Hopefully not a full tear, but it looked like it puffed up right away. I wonder if they’ve even been able to get clean images yet.
Trevor Zegras seems like he needs a change of scenery which may do him well. It just doesn’t seem to be working for him anymore in Anaheim for whatever the reasons may be. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s not with the Ducks next season. I don’t see him being moved at the trade deadline but during the summer seems the most likely. Sometimes a separation is best for the player & the team.
Z had been playing really well – not sure what @usakesler is watching. He was one of their best play makers. Not the show off from years past. He was playing a solid D as well. Let’s hope he’s back soon
Kesler/Wilf doesn’t watch and doesn’t seem to understand hockey. Just rambles aimlessly around this site providing amusingly offbeat, off-the-wall, and uninformed takes. Kinda fun to watch.
He is always bashing Z.
He’s a known Z hater.
He has zero credibility.
