NHL Note - Anaheim Ducks Eaves, Patrick

Oct 24, 2017 - 7:21 AM RW Patrick Eaves was hospitalized in stable condition after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.

Guillain-Barre is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. The Ducks provided a medical update Monday on Eaves, who was admitted to the intensive care unit at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, Calif., last week after visiting specialists to determine the cause of recurring weakness he was feeling. Eaves, 33, who sat out the preseason and did not make his regular-season debut until Oct. 11, was released from intensive care over the weekend. He is expected to make a full recovery.
