Patrick Eaves didn’t suit up for the Ducks’ home contest Monday against the league-leading Nashville Predators; he’s day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
That means the Ducks won’t have access to their full complement of top-line forwards (minus Corey Perry who is sidelined until next year).
Kase’s return from a concussion is a welcome sight, a sorely needed injection of speed into the lineup. He hasn’t played this season after suffering the injury during the preseason.
The 23-year-old Czech Republic native broke out last campaign with 20 goals. He made his season debut on the second line alongside Adam Henrique and Nick Ritchie.
