Concening Europa's Eclipse Times?

Hello all,

If Europa orbits Jupiter every 85.2 hours that means that Europan day is 42.6 hours (If I'm correct in understanding). I know it's tidally locked. But I realize that it must be eclipsed by Jupiter at some point in it's day and try as I might nor Google or Bing will grace me with the answers I desire. So I would be grateful to know how long and how often Europe is eclipsed each Europan day.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Guys!
