Ducks' Kesler, Eaves to miss entire season

Anaheim Ducks forwards Ryan Kesler and Patrick Eaves will miss the whole 2019-20 campaign, the club announced Friday.

Kesler underwent hip surgery in May, after which he was deemed unlikely to suit up for the following season. He collected eight points in 60 games for the Ducks in 2018-19.

Eaves was limited to seven NHL contests last season and also appeared in seven for the AHL's San Diego Gulls.

The 35-year-old forwards have been Anaheim teammates for the last three years, with Kesler playing for the club for the last five campaigns after spending 10 seasons with the Vancouver Canucks.
