Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau has confirmed that Sheldon Souray will play in Game 4 Monday night.
Toni Lydman won't play and it may be unlikely that he will return before the end of the series. Souray was a healthy scratch for the Ducks in Game 3 after playing in the team's previous two matches against the Red Wings.

While the Anaheim Ducks seem to be leaving the door open ever so slightly for Toni Lydman to play in Game 4, it appears likely that Sheldon Souray will play instead.
Bruce Boudreau says that "bright lights are bugging" Lydman, so it certainly sounds like Lydman isn't good to go. Souray was a healthy scratch in Game 3.

Sheldon Souray could return to the Anaheim lineup for Game 4 Monday.
Souray was a healthy scratch in Game 3 after playing in the first two games of the series. But a head injury to Toni Lydman looked serious and Souray could be back in the lineup.

Sheldon Souray is projected to be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Souray confirmed that he is not injured. "I'm a little surprised," Souray said. "But at this time of the year, it's all about winning. Whatever we have to do to win, we're on board with." Souray took two minor penalties in Game 2 on Thursday and the Detroit Red Wings capitalized on both opportunities.

Souray sat out his second straight game but this was more for precautionary reasons. He has revitalized his career in 2013 with seven goals and 17 points in 42 games to go with a plus-23 rating. He should be able to play on Thursday barring a setback so get ready to activate him if you normally would.

It sounds like Sheldon Souray is a coin toss for Sunday's Anaheim Ducks game against the Edmonton Oilers.
Souray likely enjoys every opportunity to smite his former team, but getting healthy for the playoffs is likely a higher priority. Stay tuned for updates regarding his status.

Sheldon Souray (undisclosed) was healthy enough to play Wednesday.

Sheldon Souray returned to action on Wednesday April 10.

Sheldon Souray missed Monday's game after getting 'banged up' on Sunday according to the Orange County Register.
Souray missed only his second game of the season because of general soreness. He has had a very good fantasy season with seven goals and 16 points in 38 games with an awesome plus-26 rating which is best in the NHL and 46 penalty minutes. Consider the defenseman day-to-day.

Sheldon Souray's shot with 2:08 left in regulation found the back of the net and the Anaheim Ducks' 2-1 victory over the Blackhawks at United Center finished off a season sweep of the team they're chasing for the Western Conference's top spot.
"I saw the angle that it was going to come off at," Souray said. "I played pool once or twice when I was a kid. I had some time at that point and I didn't want to let somebody get in the way and get (it) blocked." The Ducks (23-7-4), who are three points back of Chicago, were more focused on breaking their four-game losing streak than whether they've put something in the Blackhawks' heads should they possibly meet in the postseason.

Defenseman Sheldon Souray is enjoying a first-rate season but was a healthy scratch by Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau Friday night against Anaheim as a means of resting him up ahead of Saturday's contest in Phoenix.
It was the first game missed for Souray, who has played a big role for the winning Ducks with four goals, eight points and a plus-13 rating. "Somewhere during this month, there's going to be days off for him and other guys too," Boudreau said. Souray faded as his season went on for Dallas last year, and Boudreau is taking that into account as well as the 21 minutes he is averaging per night. "There's a lot of reasons why you want to keep a guy like him fresh because he's done great for us," Boudreau said.

Sheldon Souray is tied for second place in the NHL with a plus-13 rating.
Souray has fit in well with the Anaheim Ducks after inking a three-year/$11 million contract. He has four goals and eight points in 15 games and that's a point-per-game pace we could see him maintaining. The trouble is that he has a history of injuries, so he's still a big gamble under any circumstances.

Sheldon Souray thinks Teemu Selanne of the Anaheim Ducks and Jaromir Jagr of the Dallas Stars - the NHL's leading active scorers -- are similar.
The Ducks' defenseman marvels at the energy Selanne has every day and says Jagr is "a lot like Teemu is. When you see Teemu's commitment to the game, the way he goes out for every optional skate, the way he just commits himself to the team, it's not a surprise that he's doing it. And Jagr's the exact same on the other side. We come and we see it and everyone is like in awe of what he's doing. ... You just become a little numb to the fact of what (Teemu's) doing and the passion he has for the game - much the same as Jagr at their age." Selanne will be 43 on July 3; Jagr 41 next week. They are next to each other on the career goals list. Jagr's 668 are tied for 10th with Luc Robitaille. Selanne is next in 12th with 666. Jagr is eighth in points.

Sheldon Souray is on a three-game goal scoring streak.
Souray also registered an assist on Wednesday, giving him four goals and seven points in nine games this season. He started out hot last season and then fizzled out, but the shortened campaign means that we might not experience the same level of drop-off in 2013.

Sheldon Souray scored the game winning goal in a 2-1 win over the San Jose Sharks.
Souray has scored in back to back games, showing he still has that canon of a point shot working. He already has three goals this season and is getting plenty of opportunities on the power play, which makes him a solid third or fourth defenseman to have in all formats.

The Anaheim Ducks have been pleased with the two-way play of Sheldon Souray.
Souray is part of the Ducks top pairing alongside Francois Beauchemin and is also contributing offensively as he has two goals and four points in seven games to go with a plus-four rating. He has a big shot from the point and it works especially well on the power play where he has scored both goals. He is worth a spot in all lineups except for the shallowest of leagues.

Coach Bruce Boudreau seemed a bit surprised that the Dallas Stars did not use Sheldon Souray on the power play very much last season.
The Stars used Trevor Daley more than they used the offensively talented Souray as the Stars power play in 2011-12 was the worst in the NHL. The Ducks were 3-3 on the power play, taking only 1:23 minutes of time to scored the three, with Souray quarterbacking the top unit. It looks like he still has it, even at the age of 36.

At least for one game, Sheldon Souray proved he can still be an effective offensive defenseman.
Souray scored on the power play and did a fairly good job as the Ducks' quarterback on the first unit. It remains to be seen if Souray will get consistent time on the first power play. Cam Fowler, who is slated to get a good chunk of the playing time with the man advantage, missed the game due to the flu. That said, we like Souray's chances of having a bounce back season.

Sheldon Souray is looking forward to starting the season as a member of the Anaheim Ducks.
Souray signed with the Ducks in July as a UFA and is expected to be a veteran presence on the blueline as Anaheim dealt Lubomir Visnovsky in the off-season to the Islanders."Honestly, I'm just happy and excited," Souray said of the tentative deal between the NHL and the Unon. "Really, that's the only way to put it. It's been stressful situation. It was a situation players have really had no control over and it was going to happen when the time was right. So you try and not to worry about things. It's a cliche to say but you really try to not worry about it. But the fact is this is what we do. This is what we've done every year since when we were kids." Look for Souray to be part of the first power play alongside Cam Fowler and have a big year in Southern California.
