The Ducks will be without their top defensive forward and best faceoff man for their three-game road trip.
Samuel Pahlsson will stay behind to rehabilitate an abdominal injury while the team plays Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver in the next four days, Coach Randy Carlyle said.
Carlyle said it was a nagging injury. He had been giving Pahlsson periodic days off from practice and decided to use the Christmas break so Pahlsson can get an extended rest.
"We feel at this time it's best give him three games, 10 days off so he can build that area," Carlyle said.
Brian Sutherby (groin) practiced for the first time in two weeks, although he didn't finish because of a broken skate blade. Sutherby will make the trip and said Saturday is a possibility for his availability. … Weight spent the break with his family in St. Louis and will join the club in Edmonton, Carlyle said.
