The Ducks star missed the past three road games as he and his wife are expecting their first child soon, so he won’t travel to Arizona for Saturday’s game
| UPDATED:IRVINE — Troy Terry was a busy man when the Ducks were on the road this past week.Terry stayed behind when the team was on the road, first in Seattle and then back-to-back games in Edmonton and Calgary on the weekend. Terry and his wife Dani are expecting their first child and, with the possibility of an early birth, he didn’t want to be out of the country.
“Because I’m in it all the time, I understand what they go through to get ready for games and all that,” Terry said. “I’m seeing the group chat of where they’re going and what’s going on. It’s just weird not being on the road and watching them go on the ice. The Ducks, who have lost eight consecutive games, have known what it is like to be without Terry for an extended period – he was injured in the first game after the All-Star break in February and missed the next seven – but the most recent absence reinforced how important he is individually and collectively, specifically to linemates Mason McTavish and Max Jones.
“The one thing we’ve really learned here with him out, he is a driver of the line,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. “That had been the line and they played very well there. Suddenly, without Troy, the matchup becomes a little bit different for them. There’s a bigger challenge.When the Ducks were on the road, Terry was able to skate with Adam Henrique, who has been out since Feb. 21 with a knee injury and is close to coming back.
