Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray says Nick Bonino's lower-body injury was actually a torn hamstring.
Bonino missed six weeks with a mysterious lower-body injury, which Murray said he suffered while playing soccer before a game in March. Bonino managed to have a strong postseason after returning, scoring three goals and four points in seven games against the Red Wings. He should be fine by the time camp opens in September.

Nick Bonino's overtime game-winner on Wednesday gave the Anaheim Ducks a 3-2 win (OT) and a matching 3-2 series lead.

Bonino has enjoyed a pretty impressive postseason, with three goals (two game-winners) and one assist for four points in five games. While he might not be a steady star in the regular season, he's worth a look in playoff pools, especially if you're confident that the Ducks will advance.
May 9 - 1:12 AM

Nick Bonino scored his second power play goal of the playoffs Saturday.

Bonino has been the surprise of the early going in the playoffs with three points but he is getting power play time with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry and that will not hurt his chances. Bonino also has an assist and is currently tied for fifth in scoring in the NHL post-season.
May 5 - 6:57 AM

Nick Bonino scored a goal in Anaheim's 3-1 victory in the playoffs opener.

Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau hyped Bonino up before the contest by saying, "He does a lot of things that people won't recognize." Bonino's efforts might often go overlooked, but this is one night his accomplishments were more easily recognizable.
May 1 - 8:33 AM

The Anaheim Ducks say Nick Bonino will be incredibly important to their postseason success.

Bonino had just five goals and 13 points in 27 games this season, but he feels like one of those lesser-known players who become postseason heroes. The Ducks are very high on the 25-year old and coach Bruce Boudreau says the second-line center is crucial to what they do. "He does a lot of things that people won't recognize," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We missed him while he was out."
Apr 30 - 8:17 AM

Nick Bonino picked up two assists in his return to action Sunday.

Bonino missed almost six weeks of the shortened NHL season with a lower body injury before returning to center the second line between Kyle Palmieri and Teemu Selanne. "I haven't been 100 percent ready but I've been feeling good," Bonino said. "There's some days where you could have pushed it and played. We set this target date a while ago. It's one we were shooting for. I had a good rehab staff with me. Everyone helped me out a lot. Just like being back." The Ducks are quite happy with the 25-year-old and he'll make a very nice pick if you think the Ducks will go far in the post-season.
Apr 22 - 5:28 AM

After missing about six weeks of action, Nick Bonino is set to join the Anaheim Ducks once again.

He has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since March 8. His 10 points in 23 games are nothing to get too excited about, although the right line combination could make him much more interesting.
Apr 21 - 1:33 PM

Nick Bonino (lower body) has been cleared for contact drills.

Bonino probably needs to work on his conditioning before he'll return to the Ducks' lineup. It sounds like Anaheim would ideally like to get him back next week.
Apr 17 - 8:11 AM

Nick Bonino (lower body) joined the Ducks at practice Tuesday afternoon.

Bonino hasn't played in a month due to a significant lower-body injury, but coach Bruce Boudreau said Tuesday he'd like Bonino to play two or three games before the postseason. The Ducks have six games left in the regular season, including three in four days beginning Friday.
Apr 16 - 4:47 PM

A significant lower-body injury has kept Nick Bonino out for a month, but the center continues to increase his practice workload and could be playing soon barring any setbacks.

Bruce Boudreau sees Bonino making the final trip of the season and playing in at least one of the team's back-to-back games against Edmonton on April 21-22. The plan now is to improve his conditioning and "get him up to speed." "He was 20 minutes out there (Friday) so he's going up in five-minute increments," the coach said.
Apr 13 - 12:13 PM

Nick Bonino (lower body) was on the ice Thursday.

Bonino has skated for three straight days. He might be able to return before the end of the regular season.
Apr 12 - 8:29 AM

The Anaheim Ducks are keeping a tight lid on the specific nature of Nick Bonino's lower-body injury, but the center acknowledged it is something he has never dealt with in his pro career.

"Nothing like this," said Bonino, who hurt himself during a March 9 practice and has been out for nearly a month. "Dislocated my shoulder. Tore my MCL. At the end of the day, nothing like this for at least four weeks." On how he hurt himself, Bonino said, "I moved the wrong way. Stuff in my body didn't appreciate how I moved. It hurt me." Coach Bruce Boudreau said he is hopeful Bonino can begin skating next week and the young forward said, "I'm working as hard as I can to get out there."
Apr 6 - 11:22 AM

Nick Bonino is making progress in his recovery from a lower body injury.

"Hey, we saw him today," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau cracked. "He's feeling much better. But we don't want to rush anything. We don't want to any pressure on him because we need him." Bonino hasn't played since March 8. He has five goals and 10 points in 23 games this season.
Apr 4 - 8:39 AM

Nick Bonino (flu) has been moved to the injured reserve list.

The move is retroactive March 8. Bonino could return to the Ducks' lineup in time for Saturday's contest.
Mar 13 - 8:22 AM

Nick Bonino has the flu and will not play Tuesday night.

Bonino has five goals and 10 points in 25 games this season in mainly a bottom-six role for the Ducks. Given his limited role and value, this news shouldn't really affect most formats.
