Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf emerged from the trainer's room with a freshly shaved head for the team's annual fan fest. Unfortunately for Ducks fans, he won't be putting a helmet on it for the next game.
Getzlaf is recovering from an appendectomy and ruled himself out for at least the Ducks' game Wednesday against Florida. The Ducks also will be without right wing Jiri Sekac, who was placed on injured reserve with a sprained right ankle and will be eligible to return Monday.
The recovery period was expected to be four to 12 days for Getzlaf, who will be one week out from the procedure Wednesday.
