Quenneville Issues Mason McTavish Injury Update

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish was a late scratch by the team before last night’s contest against the Colorado Avalanche, with the team revealing he suffered an upper-body injury. Head coach Joel Quenneville addressed McTavish’s status with the media postgame, telling assembled reporters (including The Hockey News’ Derek Lee) that he doesn’t at this point know for exactly how long McTavish’s injury will sideline him, but believes the ailment is not too serious. Any extended absence for McTavish would deal a real blow to the Ducks, as the 22-year-old pivot has been a key contributor with 30 points in 49 games this season.
