"There appears to be a very good reason for Anaheim Ducks' forward Ryan Getzlaf's subpar offensive season.
In an interview with the Orange County Register, Getzlaf admitted that he had been playing not only with a sprained ankle but also with partially torn ligaments between the tibia and fibula in his leg since a February 8th collision with Kings' forward Dustin Brown.
"That was the initial injury," Getzlaf told the Register. "And then it kind of got better and things were moving the right way throughout the Olympics. And even the few games I returned to [afterward]. Obviously I aggravated it the one night here and then I aggravated it big time in Vancouver.""
