Heatley (groin) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday. Heatley is considered ready to play after taking part in a conditioning stint at AHL Norfolk over the past several days, but there's no guarantee he'll slot back into the Anaheim lineup right away. The Ducks are riding a seven-game winning streak and have gotten strong production from their top three lines, which may make coach Bruce Boudreau reluctant to break up that continuing by reinserting Heatley.
