Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf is day to day with an upper-body injury that kept him out of Sunday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team announced prior to puck drop.
The news came at a tough time for the Ducks as the team had dropped seven straight games, but they did prevail in overtime against the Blue Jackets on Sunday night.
Anaheim has found it difficult to find the back of the net, ranking 29th in goals per game. Getzlaf has been the team's most constant producer, putting up 10 points in just nine contests this season.
