Ducks' Patrick Eaves: Won't play in 2019-20
Patrick Eaves (illness) will miss the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign.Eaves has been limited to just nine games over the past two campaigns due to various maladies and will be placed on long-term injured reserve at the start of the upcoming season. The 35-year-old forward only has one year remaining on his contract, so he'll almost certainly retire next offseason. If that ends up being the case, he'll finish his NHL career having racked up 132 goals and 242 points in 633 games spread over 14 seasons with six different teams.

Ducks' Patrick Eaves: Dealing with illness
Patrick Eaves is under the weather and won't be in the lineup versus Ottawa on Thursday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.Eaves has been limited to a mere seven games this season due to various injuries, including a shoulder issue and most recently a back problem. With the veteran unavailable, Derek Grant or Adam Cracknell figures to slot back into the lineup. Given all the health issues that have plagued Eaves this year, it wouldn't be a shock to see him call it a career at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

Ducks' Patrick Eaves: Settling back in with AHL club
Patrick Eaves (back) -- who is on a conditioning assignment -- registered two shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 win over AHL Texas.While setting two empty shots on goal is nothing to write home about, the Anaheim Ducks can take solace in the fact that Eaves is on the ice at all. Following a roster firesale, Anaheim snapped a 12-game losing streak with a shutout over Minnesota on Thursday, and there's been more attention on the veteran winger since he's missed the past 30 games. A conditioning assignment typically marks the final obstacle in returning from a significant injury, so there's hope that he'll return before long.
