From two stints in limbo to stability. From the Colorado winter back to Southern California in the spring. Chris Wagner has come full circle in time to help the Ducks.
Five weeks ago, Wagner was at home on his couch after the Colorado Avalanche waived him. It was the second time he'd been waived this season, the other by the Ducks in November. But Anaheim claimed him back on Feb. 25 and recalled him this week in the wake of several injuries that have pressed the fourth-line forward into service.
It's a long way from the couch.
