Silfverberg has decided to retire at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. The 33-year-old Silfverberg was the 39th overall pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and spent the past 11 seasons as a member of the Ducks. He has 19 points (7G / 12A) through 78 games this season.
Silfverberg hasn't been ruled out for the season but he won't skate for at least two weeks. The Ducks are holding out hope that he can return to the lineup before the Ducks finish their season on April 29th. He last played on March 8th against the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Ducks placed him on injured reserve two days later with a lower-body injury.
Silfverberg suffered an undisclosed injury in Chicago on Tuesday and will miss at least one week after being placed on IR on Thursday. The move was made to clear space on the roster for the Ducks to recall Vinni Lettieri, Buddy Robinson and Danny O'Regan.
Silfverberg has had a tough season, likely due to playing through this hip injury, posting just eight goals with eight assists (16 points) in 47 games. If he ends up missing six months, Silfverberg could miss the start of the 2021-22 season.
Silfverberg missed Monday's game because of the birth of their child but is back in the lineup tonight vs. the Coyotes. Silfverberg has 15 goals and 14 assists (29 points) in 44 games this season.
The Ducks are in San Jose tonight but Silfverberg stayed back in Anaheim to be with his wife while they await the birth of their child. Troy Terry, who was recalled from his conditioning stint on Sunday, is expected to replace him on a line with Adam Henrique.
Silfverberg missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will be a game-time decision tonight in Nashville. Maxime Comtois was sent back to the AHL, opening the door for Silfverberg to return tonight.
Silfverberg was hurt early in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jackets and will not play on Thursday. With Silfverberg dealing with an upper-body injury, Maxime Comtois is expected to play on the Ducks' second line.
Silfverberg was forced to leave Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jackets and is questionable to play Thursday. With Silfverberg not on the ice on Wednesday, Max Comtois skated in his spot and will likely play there tomorrow if he can’t go.
Silfverberg missed Monday's game in New York but is set to play Friday vs. the Golden Knights. Silfverberg has four goals and three assists (seven points) in his last nine games.
Ryan Getzlaf missed Saturday's game with the flu and now Silfverberg will join him on the sideline for Sunday's afternoon game in New York. With Silfverberg out, Daniel Sprong has been recalled and will make his season debut.
Because of salary cap issues, the deal can’t officially be signed until after Monday’s trade deadline but Silfverberg’s new cap-hit is expected to be north of $5.0 million. Silfverberg has always been a player who shoots the puck a lot and has been able to maintain 2-plus shots per game even on a bad Ducks team this season, scoring 16 goals with just eight assists (24 points) in 51 games. The Ducks are expected to be sellers at the deadline but Silfverberg will be sticking around.
Silfverberg missed the final four games before the All-Star break but is expected to play Saturday in Winnipeg. Silfverberg has 12 goals and seven assists (19 points) in 42 games this season.
Silfverberg played just 3:44 TOI before leaving Tuesday’s game in Detroit with a lower-body injury. Silverberg is expected to miss the rest of the road-trip, so Max Jones and Troy Terry have been called-up to replace him and Ryan Kesler (lower-body).
