Ducks' Getzlaf out at least 3 games after taking puck to face

The Anaheim Ducks will be without their captain for at least the next three games.

Ryan Getzlaf was placed on injured reserve due to swelling from a facial injury suffered Oct. 29 and will be re-evaluated on Nov. 6, the team announced.

Getzlaf was injured upon taking a puck to the face early in a game against Carolina.

Getzlaf has been limited to six games this season after previously missing time with a lower-body injury, but has recorded one goals, six assists, and 10 shots.

If cleared, he could be back for a home game against Los Angeles on Nov. 7.
