Ducks play host to Phoenix

By Helene Elliott

Time: 5 p.m.

On the air: Radio: 830.

Site: Honda Center.

VS. PHOENIX

Records: Ducks 19-15-5, Coyotes 19-15-5.

Record vs. Coyotes: 0-1-0.

Update: The hits just keep on coming for the Ducks, who have been battered by injuries and will now lose Corey Perry to a league-imposed four-game suspension. Perry elbowed Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux in the head in the third period of the Ducks’ 5-4 shootout loss Friday and got a double-minor penalty at the time. The lords of supplementary discipline added the four-game suspension to Perry, his first league suspension. The Ducks recalled left wing Drew Miller from their Iowa farm team, where he had 16 goals and 27 points in 34 games. Former Duck Ilya Bryzgalov sat out two games last week because of a sore back but is scheduled to start in goal for the Coyotes.
