Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf hasn’t had to do laundry yet, but that day is near as the longest trip of the season reaches its halfway point.
“I’ll do laundry in Washington,” Getzlaf said, considering the Ducks play the Capitals on Saturday after Thursday night’s game in Buffalo.
Getzlaf almost chuckled. It was a light moment in an otherwise frustrating point of the season — an off day in Buffalo, N.Y., and the Ducks saddled with a three-game losing streak. But he spoke with the assurance of a veteran who has been through this wringer and knows the Ducks will eventually come out clean.
