Anaheim Ducks forward Tomas Fleischmann is playing his first game in over two weeks on Monday.

Fleischmann took fourth-line rushes alongside Jiri Sekac and Rickard Rakell prior to Monday's Game 5 against the Chicago Blackhawks. Fleischmann was then inserted into the starting lineup with Ryan Kesler and Jakob Silfverberg.

Emerson Etem will sit for the first time in the Western Conference Final after scoring in Anaheim's 5-4 double-overtime loss on Saturday.

Fleischmann hasn't played since the Ducks clinched a second-round series victory over the Calgary Flames with an overtime win in Game 5 on May 10.
