Anaheim Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin will miss the next four-to-six weeks with a broken finger, the team announced Friday.
The Ducks' leader in ice time per game broke the digit blocking a shot in the third period of Wednesday's win over the Calgary Flames, just three games into his return from a bout with the mumps.
In response to Beauchemin's injury, the Ducks swiftly made a move to fill out their blue line, announcing the acquisition of former Tampa Bay Lightning bottom-pairing defenseman Eric Brewer.
