Krug is one of the prospects available on the trade market. Matt Bartkowski could also be a trade chip. Both could be in tonight's lineup for rival scouts to evaluate prior to a deal. Krug is the more offensively dynamic of the two young defensemen and has 10 goals and 24 assists in 55 games for Providence.

Fowler has played in just 6 games this season. Once he gets back into the lineup Fowler could be a good pickup. Keep an eye on him

Fowler is a great young defenceman and the Ducks could use his services. He hasn't played since February 2nd and still appears to be about 10-14 days away from returning.

Fowler suffered an upper-body injury after getting hit by Los Angeles Kings forward Jarret Stoll. He is only expected to miss the start of the road trip but there has been no official word on a timetable for his return.

Fowler was hit hard in the Ducks last contest. He is a great offensive defenceman and this is a big blow to the Ducks. According to Bourdreau Fowler shouldn't be out long which is a positive.

Look for Krug to play on the third pairing with Joe Corvo.

Krug just finished his third year at Michigan State University, scoring 12 goals and 34 points in 38 games.

Fowler is demoted to the second PP unit. The slumping sophomore has three goals and 15 points in 35 games.

Speaking of Fowler, it sounds like he will start the season on the top pairing alongside Lubomir Visnovsky. In his rookie season he finished the year with 10 goals and 40 points. Expect similar production, if not more, in his second full season as he should bypass the sophomore slump.
