Wisniewski update
Defenseman James Wisniewski, still recovering from a sprained shoulder, said Tuesday he'll be a "game-time decision" for tomorrow night's game against the Dallas Stars.
"It's not something where you can hurt it more," Wisniewski said. "It won't be a big setback where I'm out two more weeks. It's just how much threshhold of pain I can handle ... and whether it's going to affect my playing."
If he doesn't play tomorrow, the Ducks have another two days off before hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, and Wisniewski might choose to take the extra time to let the pain subside. If he does play tomorrow, Wisniewski said he'll attempt to play his "normal playing time." He had been averaging 25:15 per game.
Wisniewski had four points, all assists, in four games before injuring the shoulder Oct. 10 in Philadelphia.
