"Ryan Getzlaf was in the Anaheim Sunday night for their game against the Edmonton Oilers, meaning there's a good chance he'll be one of nine Ducks to suit up at the Olympics.

First, the Ducks have a different goal in western Canada.

Anaheim will try to head into the Olympic break on a high note on Sunday as it looks to win its fourth straight trip to Edmonton, where the Oilers may be glad to finish a dismal two-month stretch.

Getzlaf hasn't played since injuring his left ankle Monday in a win over Los Angeles, and there have been major doubts about his status as one of the top centers for host Canada.

"We decided after the injury that we would give him as much time as he needed to determine whether he's ready to go or not," Team Canada general manager Steve Yzerman said, adding that "ideally we'd like to see him play" at Edmonton ahead of the Canadians' opener Tuesday night against Norway.

Getzlaf is still part of a large contingent of Ducks players chosen to skate in Vancouver, a list that also includes Finnish veterans Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne, Swiss goalie Jonas Hiller and Canadian captain Scott Niedermayer. "
