Just a reminder that the Ducks' incarnation of California Hockey Day -- a free day for local youth to try ice hockey -- will be held tomorrow at Anaheim ICE, 300 W. Lincoln Ave., Anaheim. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. children ages 4 to 9 will have the opportunity to join Ducks personnel on the ice for a free lesson on the basics of hockey.
In addition to the free lesson, each participating child will receive a variety of prizes, including two free tickets to an upcoming Anaheim Ducks game [sign up here].
The Ducks played 60 minutes of hockey against the defending Stanley Cup champions -- and still lost.
The incident occurred at 7:12 of the first period. No penalty was assessed on the play.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average annual salary, Wisniewski will forfeit $28,497.40. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
Wisniewski will miss tomorrow's game against Pittsburgh and Thursday's contest against Nashville. He will be eligible to return Saturday against Phoenix.
The Ducks have placed forward Erik Christensen on waivers. Other teams will have until 9 a.m. tomorrow to claim him. If Christensen goes unclaimed, he returns to the Ducks.
Shuffled among the bottom three lines this season, Christensen has been held scoreless in six games and was a healthy scratch the past two. He joined the Ducks late in training camp after recovering from off-season shoulder surgery.
Christensen scored two goals in 17 regular-season games after coming to the Ducks in a trade from Atlanta last March and had none in last season's playoffs.

J.P. Hoornstra is in his first year covering the Ducks for the Daily
News. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third
NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He
betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003,
and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
