Many were surprised to see Ryan Getzlaf scratched from the lineup when the Anaheim Ducks prepared to take on the Nashville Predators Thursday night.
After the Ducks' 5-2 win, coach Bruce Boudreau shed some light on the situation.
"It's a lower-body injury. That's all I'm saying right now," he said, per NHL.com's Robby Stanley. "It's day-to-day, and we'll probably know more before we hit Tampa [Bay on Feb. 8] anyway. I don't even know if he can play [Friday against the Washington Capitals], but he's coming to Washington with us."
Getzlaf has been one of Anaheim's most consistent offensive threats. His 52 points are tied for sixth in the league, and he's tied for fourth in assists (36).
The Ducks are the best team in the Western Conference at the moment with 74 points, leading the Predators and St. Louis Blues by two points. As long as Getzlaf's injury is just a day-to-day issue and he makes a speedy return, the team shouldn't be in too much trouble during his absence.
