Anahein (AFP) – Ryan Getzlaf, the Ducks center due to play for Canada at the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games, was nursing a sprained left ankle on Tuesday after he was hurt in an NHL contest the night before.

“Hopefully, he won’t be out too long,” said defenseman Scott Niedermayer, the captain of the Ducks and Team Canada. “I don’t have to say what he means to this team and what he does for us, so hopefully it’s not bad.”

Getzlaf had scored his 15th goal earlier in the game against the Los Angeles Kings, before spraining his ankle in the second period and limping to the bench.

X-rays on Getzlaf’s ankle showed no broken bones, and he was expected to undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

Getzlaf has 57 points in 55 games for the Ducks, and was selected to play for Canada at the Olympic Games alongside Niedermayer and Anaheim’s Corey Perry.

Perry had a goal and two assists in the Ducks’ 4-2 victory over Los Angeles.
