Ryan Getzlaf (nasal sinus fractures) placed on IR.
The Ducks will be without their captain for the next two games - and possibly longer.
Ryan Getzlaf was diagnosed with multiple nasal sinus fractures as a result of a shot that struck him in the forehead, between the eyes, in the second period of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Coyotes. The initial CT scan was performed Wednesday, and Getzlaf will see a specialist and undergo additional tests Friday to determine the length of absence and any additional steps.
The Ducks placed the 25-year-old center on injured reserve, ruling him out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers and Sunday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
