Scotty's back.
Brian Burke made it official half an hour ago: Scott Niedermayer is ready to return to the Ducks. He will skate at Anaheim Ice tomorrow, will skate with his teammates when they get back from the upcoming road trip in a week, and could be ready to play against the Canucks on Dec. 12. At least one roster move will have to be made, but even Burke wasn't sure how much money he needs to clear up. So that will wait. In the meantime, be happy for Scotty and pray for Teemu Selanne – he and his wife just had a baby girl.

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. 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.
