The 43-year-old Selanne has registered one assist and six shots on goal while averaging 11:16 of ice time in three games.
Etem, 21, appeared in 29 games for the Ducks during the regular season, scoring seven goals and adding four assists; in seven postseason games in 2013, the youngster contributed three goals and two assists.
Selanne will be a healthy scratch in the playoffs for just the second time in his legendary career.
