Selanne, Getzlaf 'questionable' for Wednesday.
The good news for the Ducks is that the injuries to Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne aren't as serious as they could have been, considering neither was able to finish Sunday's game against the San Jose Sharks.
The bad news is, with the team's playoff hopes leaving them in the position of having to win nearly every game remaining, both forwards are questionable for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
An MRI exam Monday revealed a slight sprain in Selanne's left shoulder. He will be evaluated again tomorrow morning and is currently listed as day-to-day. Getzlaf also had an MRI on his sprained left ankle, which revaled inflammation in the area but no further damage. He is also day-to-day.
Meanwhile enforcer George Parros, who was struck by a puck in Sunday's morning skate, sustained a "contusion/laceration" on the side of his head and is likely to practice tomorrow and be available Wednesday.
The Ducks have recalled forward Kyle Calder from the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Calder collected no goals and two assists in 14 games with Anaheim earlier this season. With the Marlies, he had 11 goals and 24 points in 31 games.
