Thrun, a defenseman, will miss his third consecutive game. ... ... Kahkonen is expected to start after Blackwood made 32 saves against Seattle. ... Gibson will make his sixth start in eight games. ... Lyubushkin will return after missing two games with an upper-body injury. ... The Ducks reassigned defenseman Robert Hagg to San Diego of the American Hockey League on Monday. ... Jones, a forward, practiced Monday and Tuesday after missing the past 11 games with an upper-body injury, but likely won't return until Anaheim's next game, against the Edmonton Oilers on Feb. 9.
