Oksiuta, Wilson Clash Over Playing Time
- Share via
Roman Oksiuta was out of the lineup again Friday after a heated verbal exchange with Coach Ron Wilson at the morning skate.
“I decide who’s on the team; Ron decides who plays,” General Manager Jack Ferreira said. “I’d worry if a guy wasn’t upset he wasn’t playing.”
Oksiuta was the Ducks’ third-leading scorer last season and signed for $600,000 this season after a holdout. But he has only 11 points and has played in only four of the last 22 games.

Left wing Shawn Antoski, still hoping to avoid or postpone hip surgery, didn’t play because of soreness in both hips.
