Some important hands are on deck for the Ducks, just in time to navigate some potentially choppy waters.
Jakob Silfverberg and Nate Thompson practiced with the team Monday as it began its post-All-Star-break push. They are getting close to a return — Silfverberg from an apparent head injury and Thompson from a torn Achilles’s tendon — but there was no definitive word on their status as the Ducks prepare for a February schedule that includes eight of 11 games on the road after Tuesday’s home game against the Colorado Avalanche.
