The post-playoff injury report.
Murray said that the Ducks were actually relatively healthy during the playoffs. The most serious injury (other than Ryan Getzlaf's flu-like symptoms) he reported was to Petteri Nokelainen, who broke his hand during his second shift Thursday.
As for the rest of them?
"(Erik) Christensen has a shoulder that has to be looked at. Nokelainen had the groin thing going on ... Getzy fought the flu. He's banged up, nothing serious. He played too many minutes. That's my fault. He didn't have anybody behind him. ... (Bobby Ryan) had a hip pointer way back in the San Jose series; one little thing bounced off the hip. He's a little sore. He's fine now. He had no issues in the Detroit series."
