Toni Lydman admitted to suffering a concussion in the Anaheim Ducks' first-round series loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
Lydman never returned after a Justin Abdelkader check to his head in Game 3. Lydman eventually copped to suffering migraines as a result of the hit, which earned Abdelkader a two-game suspension by the league. While concussions can bother players for undetermined lengths of time, hopefully Lydman will be alright by training camp in September.

Toni Lydman was unable to return to the Anaheim lineup due to migraines.
The secret is out now that the Ducks have been eliminates. Lydman was knocked out of the series on a Justin Abdelkader check to his head in Game 3, a hit that cost Abdelkader a two game suspension and Lydman a lot more than that. Hopefully the migraine issue will clear up over the summer and Lydman will be all right to participate at training camp in September. He will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer and it remains to be seen whether or not the Ducks are still interested in his services.

Lydman could be the odd man out in Anaheim, especially with all seven blueliners healthy. Lydman has four assists in 29 games with an even plus/minus rating, a far cry from the plus-32, which was second best in the NHL, that Lydman produced just two seasons ago.

Fellow defenseman Ben Lovejoy is also expected to play Friday night, which would be his Ducks debut.

Lydman has two assists in seven games thus far this season with a plus-one rating and four penalty minutes. He has no fantasy value this season in traditional pools but does pick up a lot of blocks and hits and was plus-32 in 2010-11 so there is the possibility of value. Rickard Rakell is a healthy scratch.

The long layoff has helped defenseman Toni Lydman in recovering from knee and shoulder woes that plagued him last season.
Lydman had off-season knee surgery and a wonky shoulder that bothered him all of last season, but he hopes to return to his form of 2010-11 when he had fantasy relevance as he was second in the NHL in plus/minus at plus-32. He faltered last season due to his injuries as he eventually dropped to the third defense pairing due to his injuries and saw his plus/minus fall to even. Look for a return closer to 2010-11 than last season fantasy-wise for the veteran blueliner.
