Injuries to key forwards force coaches to juggle lines, lean on depth, and hope the next man up does not look like a lost tourist. The reporting points to a lineup that has taken real damage, and those absences can change how a season feels in a hurry. Anaheim’s forward group is under strain, and the ripple effects could reach beyond the next few games.
