Rotowire
Getzlaf recorded a power-play assist, four hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
Getzlaf's expected final road game in his career came against a team he battled often in his 17 NHL seasons. He set up Trevor Zegras on the Ducks' first goal -- it's a fitting passing-of-the-torch type of moment on the eve of Getzlaf's retirement. The 36-year-old center has 36 points (11 on the power play) with 101 shots on net, 86 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating in 55 outings this season.

Ducks' Ryan Getzlaf: Nabs pair of helpers
Rotowire
Getzlaf posted two assists and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
Getzlaf helped out on Troy Terry's opening goal and Cam Fowler's game-winner in the contest. This was Getzlaf's second straight game with two assists -- it appears he's gotten back on track after missing most of the last two months due to a lower-body injury. The center is at 35 points, 99 shots on net, a minus-9 rating and 82 hits through 53 contests. Per Matt Weller of the Ducks' official site, Getzlaf's last game is scheduled for next Sunday in the Ducks' home finale this season, so the longtime captain is only expected to play in three more contests.

Ducks' Ryan Getzlaf: Out Saturday, possible Sunday
Rotowire
Getzlaf (lower body) will not play Saturday in Philadelphia but could be an option Sunday in Carolina, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
Getzlaf has missed the last four games and 13 of the last 15 overall with the injury. With the Ducks currently 18 points back of a playoff spot, there's no reason for the 36-year-old to rush back, though he'll no doubt want to return as soon as possible to play his last few games after announcing he'll be retiring at the end of the season.
