ANAHEIM, Calif. – Anaheim Mighty Ducks goaltender Steve
Shields, acquired from the San Jose Sharks earlier this week in the
Teemu Selanne trade, will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left
shoulder and miss the final 14 games of the season.
Shields will have the operation next week to repair minor
ligament damage in his shoulder, Ducks spokesman Alex Gilchrist
said Thursday, adding that Shields is expected to be fully
recovered by early in the summer.
The Ducks, who are out of the playoff picture, acquired Shields,
forwards Jeff Friesen and a conditional draft pick for Selanne on
Monday. Shields had a 6-8-5 record with a 2.48 goals-against
average for the Sharks this season.
Also Thursday, the Mighty Ducks signed right wing Marty McInnis, who could have
become an unrestricted free agent this summer, to a three-year
contract extension. Terms were not
announced.
McInnis, 30, has 19 goals and 21 assists in 61 games for the
Mighty Ducks this season – his third with the team. He previously
played for the New York Islanders and Calgary Flames.
McInnis had his best season with the Islanders seven years ago,
getting 25 goals and 31 assists in 81 games. He has 149 goals and
222 assists in 626 games overall.
