Schenn has suited up for eight games with the Ducks this season, posting zero points and a minus-six rating while skating an average of 11:59 per night. The 29-year-old signed a one-year, $800,000 deal with Anaheim on July 1.

The former Toronto Maple Leaf and Philadelphia Flyer is coming off a lacklustre stretch in Arizona, with whom he spent the past two seasons. Schenn posted 15 points through 151 games as a Coyote, with his ice-time sitting at an average of 17:18.

Prior to that, Schenn had a brief 43-game stint in Los Angeles after spending four years in Philadelphia and four years in Toronto, compiling 42 and 75 points, respectively, during those stops.
