The Anaheim Ducks might face a challenge in their upcoming game against the Vegas Golden Knights due to player injuries. Robby Fabbri is sidelined with a lower-body injury, while Cam Fowler and Mason McTavish are uncertain for the match.
Fabbri, who joined from the Detroit Red Wings recently, was expected to boost scoring for the Ducks. Despite playing all 14 games this season, he has only netted two goals. His physical play remains strong on the West Coast, but his performance hasn’t matched last year’s 20-goal tally with Detroit. The team hasn’t shared how long he’ll be out.
McTavish’s situation is perhaps more crucial yet less severe. Last season, he ranked fourth in scoring for Anaheim with 42 points over 64 games and has started well again with two goals and eight points in 13 matches. However, since he’s listed as day-to-day, his participation against Vegas remains uncertain. If McTavish can’t play, Anaheim might need to bring up someone from the AHL because they have just 12 healthy forwards available.
Injury Updates and Team Strategy:
Fans might wonder if these injuries will affect the Ducks’ performance against a tough opponent like Vegas. The team’s strategy could shift significantly depending on who can take the ice.
