Gudas' Revenge: Ducks' Captain Faces Leafs

On March 29th, Anaheim Ducks captain, Radkogutus, is banged up with a lower body injury, but

dead set on facing the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.

Back on March 12th, he need Lee Star Austin Matthews in their first match-up, sidelineing

Toronto's captain for the rest of the season and earning, himself a five-game suspension.

The hit lit a fuse with no immediate payback from the Leafs on the ice, leaving fans

fired up in Hungary for round two.

Now with the rematch here, Toronto's got revenge on the brain against the veteran defenseman.

Lee's nation still feels the sting from that no retaliation moment, turning frustration

into fuel for this game.

Gutus knows the heat's coming, yet he's pushing through pain to lace him up.

He tweaked the injury Thursday against Calgary while hitting a flame along the boards, logging

just eight minutes and 33 seconds of ice time.

Before sitting on Saturday versus Edmonton, reports say he's seeing Dr. Sunday to check

it out.

Gutus ducks top the Pacific Division and need their 35-year-old leader healthy for the

stretch run in playoffs, but Gutus sees stepping up as the, right call, no matter the risk.
