Ducks' Gudas Sidelined vs. Oilers

Anaheim captain Radko Gudas sits out tonight's clash with Edmonton due to injury, leaving a massive void in the Ducks' defensive core. Gudas anchors their blue line with veteran grit that young legs can't replicate, and his absence tests a team already fighting for every point. Edmonton smells blood in the water, knowing this tilts the physical edge in a Pacific showdown with playoff implications lurking.
