Already missing Ryan Getzlaf (facial surgery), Ryan Kesler (hip surgery), Patrick Eaves (illness) and Ondrej Kase (upper-body injury), the Ducks had to scratch leading scorer Rickard Rakell on Saturday because of what was termed an upper-body injury. It’s serious enough that he won’t go on the remaining five games of the Ducks’ trip, though coach Randy Carlyle wouldn’t disclose the length of time Rakell is expected to be out. “We know we’ve stretched our lineup to our bare bones here,” Carlyle said. “All you can ask is your players to give you what they did tonight. They gave us everything they had.”
