Voros to miss 3-4 weeks; Koivu out with flu.

The Ducks announced that left wing Aaron Voros won’t have surgery to repair the broken orbital bone that he suffered on Wednesday in a fight with Vancouver’s Kevin Bieksa, but the team will be without Voros’ services for the next 3-4 weeks.

Meanwhile, Saku Koivu (flu) and Teemu Selanne (groin) will not skate against the Minnesota Wild.

Early in the first period, here are the Ducks’ top three lines:

Bobby Ryan – Ryan Getzlaf – Corey Perry
Brandon McMillan – Todd Marchant – Dan Sexton
Jason Blake – Nick Bonino – Joffrey Lupul

Marchant and Perry are both wearing the alternate captain’s “A”s that normally belong to Koivu and Selanne.
