Ducks who fly together also get sick together.
Both Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf will miss Anaheim's game Wednesday against the New York Islanders because of the flu, according to Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times.
Getzlaf and Perry both came to rink, were sent home to recover from flu.

The news was confirmed by the club shortly thereafter.
This is obviously a massive break for the Islanders, as Perry and Getzlaf have combined for 14 goals and 15 assists in 13 games this season.
Dany Heatley and Rickard Rackell were inserted into the lineup due to the dynamic duo's absence.
