Ducks Recall Groulx, Place Getzlaf on IR

The Ducks have recalled center Benoit-Olivier Groulx from the San Diego Gulls, Anaheim's primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL). Additionally, Anaheim has placed center Ryan Getzlaf on injured reserve.

Groulx, 21 (2/6/00), has recorded 1-2=3 points with a +1 rating and two penalty minutes (PIM) in 16 games with the Ducks this season. He scored his first NHL goal as part of his first career multi-point effort (1-1=2), Nov. 7 vs. St. Louis.

The 6-2, 200-pound forward earned his first NHL point (assist), Oct. 29 at Vegas after making his NHL debut Oct. 13 vs. Winnipeg.
Selected by Anaheim in the second round (54th overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft, Groulx has appeared in five games with San Diego this season, earning one assist (0-1=1). The Rouen, France native has collected 10-20=30 points with a +12 rating and 33 PIM in 47 career AHL games with San Diego.
Getzlaf suffered a lower-body injury in Anaheim's shootout win over the Kings on Tuesday at Staples Center. Getzlaf leads the Ducks in assists (19) and ranks second in scoring (1-19=20). Now in his 17th season in Anaheim, Getzlaf
became the club's all-time leading scorer
and the first player to
record 1,000 points as a Duck
earlier this season.
