Toni Lydman (shoulder surgery) won't play in any of the Ducks' remaining preseason games. Lydman will travel with Anaheim to Europe for their season opener, but he probably won't play in that contest. He still needs to be cleared for contact, although Lydman has been taking part in team practices. "He's not far away," coach Randy Carlyle said. "There is still nothing like playing in game situations. You can practice all you want. There is going to be a certain amount of rust that we all know [will be there]. But we trust his hockey knowledge and conditioning level and his compete level, the type of player he is." We'll keep you posted.
