VANCOUVER, British Columbia – The president of Hockey Canada tells the Associated Press there’s still a chance Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf will play for Canada at the Vancouver Games.
Hockey Canada president Nicholson said Wednesday he’s still awaiting word from the Ducks on Getzlaf’s sprained ankle. He’s listed as day to day.
Getzlaf injured his left ankle during a victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. An MRI exam Tuesday showed no significant damage.
If Getzlaf doesn’t play it would be a blow to Canada’s hopes of contending for a gold medal. He has 57 points in 55 games for the Ducks. This would be his first Olympics.
