ANAHEIM – Ryan Getzlaf’s availability for the Ducks’ home game Wednesday against Detroit could likely determine whether the center is able to practice Tuesday.

Getzlaf suffered what the Ducks say is an unspecified lower-body injury Sunday night as he took one shift in the third period and did not return for the team’s 4-3 shootout victory over Philadelphia.

It could be some type of leg or foot ailment. Getzlaf was receiving treatment off the ice Monday at Honda Center and did not take part in the Ducks’ practice.

“He’s improved today from where he was yesterday,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. “Just not to a point where we feel he can skate. So we figured it was counterproductive at this point.

“It’s a muscle. It’s not a broken bone or anything. When he heals, it’ll get us an opportunity to get him back in the lineup right away. Right now, it’s day to day. We’ll just have to go forward and see what tomorrow brings.”

Carlyle said he’d like to see Getzlaf skate before determining whether he will play against the Red Wings but that it won’t be the sole indicator to whether he can or can’t.

“In this situation, it might be a little different because he’s played so much hockey,” Carlyle said. “So it’s not as important. But I’m sure he’s going to want to test it that’s for sure.”

Getzlaf has five goals and 25 assists, with his 30 points ranking second on the Ducks.
