Contributing seven assists over the team's last three games, Getzlaf has been hot at just the right time for the Ducks.
Getzlaf's three assists in a 4-3 win over Edmonton, gave the Ducks a bit of breathing room in their chase for a playoff spot before the captain topped the performance with a four assist game against the Rangers on Sunday.

The Ducks are now two points clear of division rivals San Jose and the Oilers.
