Getzlaf is dealing with a lower-body injury, but it does not sound like he will miss any time. Keep an eye on him tomorrow just to be sure he is in the lineup.
Getzlaf, 27, has appeared in 534 career NHL games with the Ducks, scoring 146-353=499 points with a +77 rating and 504 penalty minutes. Getzlaf is now signed through the 2020-21 season. He has nine goals, 18 assists and a plus-10 in 22 games this season.
Getzlaf may have gotten the spark he needed to turn his season around.
Getzlaf will play after all so remember to keep him in your lineup tonight. The captain has six goals and 22 points through 29 games. However, he has three points in his last five after putting together a healthy seven-game scoring streak.
The Ducks captain skated today which is a good sign. Expect him to draw back in shortly.
Keep in mind that Getzlaf may be questionable for tomorrow's game. He has six goals and 22 points through 29 games in what should be considered a down year for the captain.
Sounds like coach Randy Carlyle pondered breaking up the Big 3 in an attempt to get them going. Last season, Getzlaf scored only 19 goals but added 57 assists through only 67 games played. Over a full season expect 25 goals, 90 points and around 80 PIM.
