ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Anaheim defenceman Chris Pronger broke his left foot Sunday night in the Ducks' 4-3 loss to Minnesota.
Pronger was injured when he blocked Mark Parrish's shot in the first period.
''It wasn't really that hard of a shot. It just catches you on the right spot and there's not much padding down there,'' said Pronger, who tried briefly to skate after the shot. ''Every time I went to push off, it didn't feel very good.''
Ducks officials said the all-star defenceman will fly back to Anaheim to meet with team doctors. He left the arena wearing a protective boot on his left foot.
Pronger came to the Ducks in the off-season after scoring 21 points in the playoffs last spring to lead the Edmonton Oilers to the Stanley Cup final. He's the NHL's top-scoring defenceman this season with 40 points in 41 games.http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=190453&hubname=
You know, I'm not too sad about this after what he did to the Oilers. Just a shame he didn't break it kicking his wife in the butt for forcing him to leave Edmonton. :D
