A surprisingly energetic Ducks team played well enough to earn a point but ran out of steam against a Phoenix Coyotes team that turned up the intensity after a big hit by James Wisniewski on Shane Doan. Doan was bleeding from the face and woozy as he tried [...]

In an attempt to change the Ducks’ fortunes this season, GM Bob Murray has decided to add veteran Kyle Calder to the Ducks’ lineup as he signed the free-agent to a one-year, two-way contract that will pay him $500,000 in the NHL and $105,000 in the minors. Calder was immediately assigned to Bakersfield of the ECHL, probably to get [...]
