Anaheim Ducks All-Star defenseman Cam Fowler could miss anywhere from two to six weeks with a right leg injury suffered earlier this week.
General manager Bob Murray made the announcement Thursday night, saying the team will know much more on when Fowler will return when the playoffs start.
Fowler left Tuesday's game in the third period after a knee-on-knee hit from Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano, who extended his leg and hit the U.S. Olympian's right knee well after he had shot the puck. Fowler crumpled and couldn't leave the ice under his own power after the hit from Giordano, who wasn't penalized.
