Corey Perry out week to week with lower-body injury

The Anaheim Ducks can't catch a break.

Forward Corey Perry is out week to week with a lower-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.

Head coach Randy Carlyle said the team will have a better timeline next week.

Perry's injury comes right after teammate Ryan Getzlaf played in his first game in nearly two months. Ryan Kesler has yet to play a game this season, and key defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Cam Fowler have also missed significant time this season with injuries.

Despite the adversity, the Ducks are just one point out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Perry's scoring has tailed off a bit this season - he has six goals in 31 games.
