Anaheim Ducks veteran defenceman Kevin Bieksa will miss Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers with a lower-body injury, but could be available later on in the series, head coach Randy Carlyle confirmed on Friday.

Bieksa, 35, has four assists in just five games so far in these playoffs and put up three goals with 11 helpers over 81 games during the regular season, his second with the Ducks.  

Fellow defenceman Sami Vatanen hasn't played since the first game of the playoffs due to an upper-body injury and is still listed as day-to-day. 

Anaheim will look to square their second-round series with Edmonton at a game apiece Friday night at the Honda Center.
