Just as things seemed to be getting better, adversity struck in the form of injury. Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf will be sidelined for the next 4-12 days with appendicitis.
The Ducks announced Tuesday afternoon that the captain had been experiencing discomfort recently and appendicitis now appears to be the cause of that. Getzlaf has returned home to Orange County and will undergo a non-emergency appendectomy Wednesday morning.
It is unknown whether or not Getzlaf will be placed on injured reserve but it seems like the logical decision at this time.
