"Jonas Hiller was felled by a shot during Ducks practice Saturday and was taken to a local hospital, where a cut below his left eye was stitched up.

Hiller's mask fell off when he was hit, and Ducks trainers had to help the Ducks goalie off the ice at Johnny's Ice House West, the training facility for the Chicago Blackhawks, whom the Ducks play Sunday night.

"We'll have an assessment done to make sure there are no broken bones or anything," Coach Randy Carlyle said. "It's one of those unfortunate things that happen."

Hiller had four stitches inserted at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and will be re-evaluated this morning.

Hiller has started 14 of the Ducks' 18 games and is 8-5-1.

The past six Ducks' games have been decided by seven goals. The Ducks have won them all to move into fourth place in the Western Conference standings."
