The Anaheim Ducks came into Sunday’s matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks with a 9-6 record. On Friday night, Ryan Getzlaf took a long pass from Troy Terry and put the game winning overtime goal past Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom. That game was regular season contest number 999 in Getzlaf’s career, which set up an emotional Sunday evening celebrating his 1,000th game. It’s hard to believe, but the longtime Anaheim captain has 125 playoff matches under his belt as well.
Ondrej Kase practiced on Saturday but was held out of Sunday’s game with a jaw injury.
