Heatley (groin) continues to make progress while skating, but is expected to miss the Ducks' two weekend contests against the Wild and Blues, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Even though the Ducks still haven't settled on a top-line left wing since Heatley acquired the groin injury, the team is of no mind to rush him back and potential worsen the ailment.
