Anaheim Ducks' Zegras and Mintyukov Sidelined with Major Injuries

Key players to miss several weeks, adding to the struggling team's challenges.

Trevor Zegras and Pavel Mintyukov, two key players for the Anaheim Ducks, have sustained significant injuries that will sideline them for six to eight weeks and six weeks respectively.
Zegras, who has struggled with health and consistency this season, will undergo surgery for a fractured ankle.
Mintyukov, a rookie defenseman and the Ducks’ 10th overall pick from 2022, will be out due to a separated shoulder.
The injuries come at a difficult time for the Ducks, who have been struggling this season with a 14-25-1 record.
The Ducks are expected to utilize newly acquired Gustav Lindstrom in Mintyukov’s absence and form a new top line of Mason McTavish, Alex Killorn and Frank Vatrano.
