Reinforcements could be coming for the Ducks.
Team captain and No. 1 center Ryan Getzlaf skated Monday morning, and whether he suits up later on against the Calgary Flames will be a game-time decision, coach Randy Carlyle said.
The three-time all-star was sidelined for the team's first two games while he battles a lower-body injury.
“He says he feels good," Carlyle said, "but we’ll have to wait until after warmups.”
Every time the Ducks took the ice on opening night for the last 12 seasons, Getzlaf was in the lineup, until this season.
