The Ducks re-assigned goaltender Justin Pogge to Bakersfield of the East Coast Hockey League on Monday.
That would certainly clear the way for Jean-Sebastien Giguere to come back from a nagging groin-muscle injury, as the move comes a day before the team leaves for a four-game road trip.
Pogge did not play appear in a game for the Ducks during his stint as backup to Jonas Hiller . He has gone 2-1 with a 2.10 goals-against average with the Condors.

If you read the rumor mill and see all the reports it is heavily rumored that Jean-Sebastien Giguere may be heading to Toronto for Vesa Toskala. I have hinted around with this for almost a week and to me the Ducks are going to get the better deal if this happens.
It’ no secret that Vesa Toskala is having and off season but you need to look at the cast of characters that was in front of him for his 0-2-2 start. Don’t get me wrong, Jonas Gustausson was very solid as he made 35 saves in his... Read Full Story
For those that missed it in print or online, Register columnist Randy Youngman reports that there have been preliminary discussions between the Ducks and Toronto involving a possible trade that would send goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere to the Maple Leafs.
The Maple Leafs would like someone to mentor goaltender Jonas Gustavsson, and the Ducks would likely have to take on Vesa Toskala’s $4 million salary, Youngman writes.

Goaltending seemed to be down the list of the litany of issues the Ducks have had to deal with in their uninspiring start to the season.
Now you can add that to the list after Jean-Sebastien Giguere gave up a backbreaking soft goal by Columbus defenseman Fedor Tyutin with 3:22 remaining that decided the Blue Jackets’ 6-4 victory Saturday night at Honda Center....

Some news and updates following the Ducks’ workout today at Honda Center:
