Video: Getzlaf bloodied after taking puck to face

Getzlaf2

Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf had to be pleased with his team’s 4-3 win over Dallas in Game 1 on Wednesday, but probably wasn’t too happy with how it ended.

After nearly blowing a 4-0 lead, the Ducks were scrambling at the end of the third period to prevent the Stars from tying it up -- which led to Getzlaf taking a Tyler Seguin shot to the face with 16 seconds remaining:

As the video shows, Getzlaf left the playing surface immediately and didn’t return. As for his condition postgame...

Ryan Getzlaf has a large bag of ice pressed to his left cheek in the Ducks’ medical room. He does not look pleased.

Boudreau says Getzlaf is getting stitched up, “probably going to be ok but will have a nasty cut.”

Boudreau said he thinks Getzlaf will be okay and doesn’t think anything is broken but he’ll know more later. I saw Getzlaf with an ice pack.
