Anaheim Ducks defenceman Cam Fowler is expected to be out indefinitely after he was struck in the face with a puck during Monday night’s 2-1 shootout loss to Nashville.
Fowler, 26, is expected to undergo surgery Friday after “a CT scan revealed a complex right facial fracture involving the orbital bone, cheekbone and upper jaw bone,” the team announced.
In 19 games this season, the former first-round pick has 10 points (three goals, seven assists) and a +3 rating — including a hat trick on Nov. 4 vs. Columbus.
The Ducks open a four-game home stand Friday night against the Maple Leafs.
