Rucchin Might Play in Game 4

Center Steve Rucchin skated out with the Mighty Ducks for the pre-game warmup, but the Ducks are still waiting for him to play his first game in the series.

Rucchin and team doctors had already determined he wouldn’t play in Game 3 because of back spasms, but he skated for the first time in six days and is scheduled to practice today and--perhaps--play in Game 4 Tuesday.

Duck goaltender Guy Hebert suffered nothing more than a sore thumb after Coyote defenseman Oleg Tverdovsky collided with him early in the third period. Hebert is expected to play Tuesday.
