| Teemu Selanne scored another goal on Wednesday, giving him 14 on the season. It came on the power play, which is no surprise as he has scored all but one of his goals this year with the man advantage. |
Our View: Selanne has 25 points in 27 games this year. He is a (-6) this season, but all of the power play production should make him worth it. |

|
|
| Chris Pronger scored his sixth goal of the year on Wednesday, nearly going a month in between goals. |
Our View: Pronger is still one of the stronger offensive defensemen in the league, even though he's been slumping a bit lately. He can usually be counted on for a decent plus-minus rating and penalty minutes as well. |

|
|
| Jonas Hiller is likely to play on Wednesday night for the Ducks, according to ESPN. |
Our View: Hiller has been great as a fill-in for Jean-Sebastian Giguere and shutout Chicago on Friday, which is Wednesday's opponent. |

|
| Defenseman Logan Stephenson was traded to Anaheim in exchange for forward Joakim Lindstrom, according to TSN. |
Our View: Stephenson was the 35th overall pick in the draft in 2004, but has not made any appearances in the NHL. He has just two points in 19 games this year in the AHL. |

|
| Jean-Sebastien Giguere exited Monday's game against Detroit after two periods due to cramping in his groin region, according to the Orange County Register. |
Our View: He rejected 37-of-38 shots prior to leaving. The ailment is not believed to be serious, and he should be able to return this week. |

|
|
| Jean-Sebastien Giguere is likely to start Monday's game at Detroit, according to the Orange County Register. |
Our View: He has been away in Montreal for close to a week while dealing with a serious family matter, but returned to the Ducks Sunday. He may need time to get back on track, namely from an emotional standpoint, and will be an unstable fantasy option if he gets the call against the defending champs. |
