Ryan Getzlaf News

Getzlaf (groin) is expected to be back in the Ducks lineup on Saturday.

Getzlaf has missed the last five games with a groin injury, but skated on the top line with Rickard Rakell and Isac Lundestrom in Friday’s practice which suggests that he’ll be back tonight. Getzlaf has two assists in two games so far this season.

Getzlaf (lower-body) is questionable for Monday’s game vs. the Red Wings.

Getzlaf left the Saturday’s game after playing 13:03 TOI and did not return. Getzlaf wasn’t on the ice for the Ducks morning skate, which clouds his status for tonight’s meeting with the Red Wings. If Getzlaf is unavailable, Isac Lundestrom would draw in and centre Andrew Cogliano and Kiefer Sherwood.

Getzlaf left Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Getzlaf suffered a lower-body injury in the third period of Saturday’s win over the Coyotes and did not return. Head coach Randy Carlyle did not have an update on Getzlaf post-game, but Getzlaf was seen favouring a leg while walking around. Consider him questionable for Monday’s game against the Red Wings.

Getzlaf (face) is expected to return to the Ducks lineup on Monday.

Getzlaf has missed the last 19 games with a facial fracture but was a full participant in Sunday’s practice and will likely return to the lineup tonight. Getzlaf will skate on the top line with Rickard Rakell and Corey Perry and returns to the lineup after picking seven points (1G / 6A) in six games before getting hurt.

The Ducks have placed Ryan Getzlaf (face) on IR.

Getzlaf has had a tough time with injuries this season, landing on IR for the third time this month. Getzlaf is dealing with a face injury after being hit by a puck in Sunday’s win in Carolina. As a result, Getzlaf will miss at least the next three games.

Getzlaf left Sunday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Getzlaf left the game very early after taking a puck to the face during his first shift. Head coach Randy Carlyle said Getzlaf told him he didn’t feel comfortable on the ice and they decided it was best if he gets evaluated when they get back to Anaheim. Consider Getzlaf as day-to-day and questionable for Wednesday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs.

Getzlaf (lower-body) could return to the Ducks’ lineup on Tuesday.

Getzlaf has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but just needs the “green light” to play on Tuesday. The Ducks will practice Monday in Philadelphia, so monitor the captains status this afternoon.

Getzlaf (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Monday.

Getzlaf missed the first two games of the season, but was on the ice for the Ducks morning skate and could return to the lineup tonight vs. the Flames. If the veteran centre does return tonight, it’s worth noting that he had six assists in five games vs. the Flames last season.

Getzlaf (lower-body) will miss the Ducks season opener.

Getzlaf has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but took part in the morning skate and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Stars. Monitor his status when pre-game warmups start at 9:30 p.m. ET, but it looks like he should draw back in.
