A date with the Edmonton Oilers is as good a time as any to give players a rest.
That's what Anaheim Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau is doing with Ryan Kesler on Wednesday, as the veteran center will watch the game from the press box.
Kesler is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche, while Emerson Etem will hit the ice against Edmonton in his absence.
