Brad Staubitz netted his first goal of the season on Thursday.
It was just Staubitz's 15th game of 2013. He would have been a decent source of penalty minutes if he played regularly.

Brad Staubitz made a rare appearance on Sunday.
It was only the 14th game of the season that Staubitz has seen action in as the Ducks have not needed his tough play of late. He saw only 6:22 minutes of action but led the team with five hits as he certainly was throwing his weight around. "My tanks are full," Staubitz quipped. "The assistant coaches I've been working with have been great. I've been staying motivated and everything. A good group of guys. It makes it easier that way. You do your thing, you work hard and you wait for your chances to play and contribute."

Brad Staubitz was activated from the IL on Monday March 18.

Brad Staubitz practiced with his Duck teammates for the first time Thursday since sustaining facial lacerations in a game a week ago.
He did wear a visor to protect the 35 stitches he needed to repair the damage sustained when Alex Tanguay's skate sliced his face. Don't think Staubitz will be fighting in the near future which negates any fantasy value he may have.

The Anaheim Ducks have placed Brad Staubitz (face) on the injured reserve list.
Staubitz was cut on the face by the skate of Alex Tanguay and required 35 stitches to sew it up. He was injured on Friday and actually returned to the game to finish it off. Staubitz was likely in your lineup only for penalty minutes so look elsewhere for now.

Despite suffering a cut that required 35 stiches to sew up, Ducks forward Brad Staubitz is not interested in donning a visor.
"Obviously, the way the game's changing and stuff, you can see it more and more," Staubitz said. "It's good. It is safer. There's times where you see guys and if they didn't have it one, you're like (oh no)] who knows what would have happened. I think it is good that they're starting with them more and more. But I just haven't worn one since I've been in this league." The fact that wearing a visor would complicate the enforcer's ability to engage in fights is likely a major reason for his reluctance.

Ducks forward Brad Staubitz left Friday's win momentarily after suffering a nasty injury.
Staubitz was cut for 35 stitches after he was inadvertently clipped by the skate of Flames forward Alex Tanguay, but he returned to the ice after being sewn up and actually went on to set up a goal scored by Sheldon Souray. If there was ever any doubt about his toughness, Friday's events should put that talk to rest.

Do not be surprised to see Brad Staubitz pick up some penalty minutes on Monday and Wednesday.
The Ducks are in the midst of a back-to-back-to-back series with the Phoenix Coyotes with game two on Monday in Phoenix before the two teams head back to Anaheim for Wednesday's tilt. Brad Staubitz is the Ducks resident enforcer and should things get out of hand, look for him to get into a fight or two in the next couple of games. "It might get there," Coach Bruce Boudreau said of whether the rough stuff could get out of hand. "There was a lot of compete. I think there's a lot of little trash talk out there as well." Stay tuned.

Brad Staubitz replaced Peter Holland on the fourth line Monday as Holland was a healthy scratch.
Coach Bruce Boudreau wanted the Ducks to be tougher Monday when they faced their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Kings so Patrick Maroon played center with Matt Beleskey also on the wing. Staubitz had three hits in 7:03 minutes of action in the 5-2 loss. He has value in pools that use penalty minutes as a category.

Brad Staubitz received a game misconduct Friday night for spearing the Stars' Brenden Dillon.
Staubitz was only playing in his fourth game of the season, and even as an enforcer, cheap shots like this definitely won't endear him to coach Bruce Boudreau and the league. In 2:04, he had 17 penalty minutes.

Brad Staubitz was a healthy scratch for Saturday night's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Such is the life of an enforcer. Staubitz will be deployed when needed and there will be many games when the Ducks will not need his muscle. Last night was obviously one of them. Rookie forward Peter Holland also sat in the press box.
