The Anaheim Ducks will welcome their captain back Saturday night, as Ryan Getzlaf returns to the lineup after missing the last five games with a groin injury.

The club has still done well without Getzlaf, jumping out to a 5-1-1 record in seven games, which leads the Pacific Division.

Getzlaf hasn't dressed since the team's 1-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 6. The 33-year-old has two points in the two games he's played, each coming in the form of assists in the club's 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks on opening night.
