Up next for Ducks: Friday vs. Chicago

When: 1 p.m.

Where: Honda Center.

On the air: TV: Prime Ticket. Radio: 830

Records: Ducks 6-11-4; Blackhawks 12-7-3.

Update: Bobby Ryan did not skate Thursday because of a bruised hip, the Ducks said. The expectation was that he would be able to play some against Chicago, though he sat out the third period against the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday night because of the injury. Anaheim has lost five games in a row and 14 of its last 16. The five consecutive losses coincide with the injury that knocked defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky out of the lineup. Visnovsky broke a finger on his right hand against Vancouver on Nov. 11. Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook, who has sat out the last four games because of a lower-body injury, did not practice Thursday in Anaheim and will be a game-time decision. The Blackhawks have lost their last three games.
