Ducks' Carlsson Sidelined 3-5 Weeks After Thigh Procedure, Olympics in Doubt

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson underwent a procedure Friday for a Morel-Lavallee lesion on his left thigh, sidelining him 3-5 weeks. This timeline jeopardizes his participation for Sweden at the Olympics. Carlsson was previously ruled out for Friday's game due to a lower-body injury. Mason McTavish and Mikael Granlund are expected to fill larger roles in the Ducks' top-six center positions during his absence.
