Ducks defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky suffered a right hand fracture during the third period of Tuesday night’s home loss to the Kings and will miss the final three games of the 2009-10 regular season.

The former Kings player will be evaluated Wednesday and Thursday to determine the next steps.

The Ducks acquired Visnovsky from the Edmonton Oilers at the March trade deadline to run their power play and gave up defenseman Ryan Whitney and a sixth-round draft pick in return.
