Getzlaf out up to 2 months after undergoing cheekbone surgery

Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf will be out of the lineup for up to two months following surgery to repair a fractured zygomatic bone, the team announced Tuesday.

The injury occurred when Getzlaf took an errant puck to the face during an Oct. 29 contest against the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Ducks center has collected seven points in six games, but has already missed eight games with injuries.
