The Anaheim Ducks will have help on the blue line for Sunday's Game 2 against the Nashville Predators.
Defenseman Kevin Bieksa, who hasn't played since March 24 as a result of an upper-body injury, will be back in the lineup, head coach Bruce Boudreau confirmed.
The 34-year-old averaged 21 minutes a night in 71 appearances for the Ducks during the regular season, contributing four goals and 11 assists.
Josh Manson, injured in Game 1, will sit.
