Kurtis Foster News

Ducks D Kurtis Foster said he thinks he'll be ready for Friday after a good week of practice and is cool with waiting his turn to get in.

After a successful conditioning stint with Syracuse of the AHL, Foster still needs to learn his team's new system. Look for him to rotate with Sheldon Brookbank on the third defensive pairing.

Defenseman Kurtis Foster (thigh) is in a similar situation. Carlyle called both players “a possibility” for the game against Buffalo.

Sounds like Foster is approaching 100 percent. The offensive defenseman posted eight goals in each of his last two seasons. He could find similar success in Anaheim if given any significant PP time.

Defenseman Kurtis Foster (leg) and forward Matt Beleskey (shoulder) are “very, very close” to returning, according to Carlyle. He said both players could be available for the Ducks’ regular season opener here Friday against Buffalo.

Foster's injury held him out of all of the preseason so expect some rust upon his return. The offensive defenseman posted eight goals in each of his last two seasons. He could find similar success in Anaheim if given any significant PP time.

Ducks D Kurtis Foster (thigh) skated for the first time on his hown since undergoing surgery 10 days ago.

Certainly good news for Foster, who should return to the team at some point in October. The offensive defenseman posted eight goals in each of his last two seasons. He could find similar success in Anaheim if given any significant PP time.

ANAHEIM — Ducks defenseman Kurtis Foster did not participate in his first official workout with his new team and is day-to-day due to inflammation in his knee.

Foster has been fantasy relevant in the past but watched his play fall off the map with the Oilers last season. Nevertheless, he still posted over 7 goals for the fourth time in his career so there is something left in the tank.
