Injuries to sideline Ducks’ Kyle Palmieri, Shea Theodore through camp

Ducks forward Kyle Palmieri and last year’s first-round draft pick Shea Theodore will be sidelined through training camp with injuries, the team announced Friday.

Palmieri, coming off a 14-goal, 17-assist season, suffered a right high ankle sprain while skating at home in New Jersey in preparation for camp, which began Friday in Anaheim.

His return is targeted for the Ducks’ final exhibition game, Oct. 4 against the San Jose Sharks in Anaheim.

Theodore, 19, was injured in Sunday’s futures game and diagnosed with an ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his right elbow. He’ll miss four to six weeks, a team spokesman said.

Both injuries are being treated with an abundance of caution, since there are no games to rush back to and a long season still ahead.

Theodore was the 26^th pick in the 2013 NHL draft. He had 22 goals and 57 assists for minor-league Seattle last year and will return there for another season of grooming when healthy.
