With the Ducks’ captain and fourth-leading scorer sitting out against Vancouver, coach Dallas Eakins revamps his lineup, saying ‘it was time to shake it up’
Maybe if the Ducks were locked in a nerve-jangling Stanley Cup playoff series or perhaps if there were only a handful of regular-season games remaining, Ryan Getzlaf would be in their lineup.Getzlaf wanted to play against the Canucks, after sitting out Thursday’s 7-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers because of a nagging, unspecified lower-body injury, but Ducks coach Dallas Eakins had the final say.
Eakins shuffled his line combinations with Getzlaf sidelined. Rather than simply inserting Sam Steel into Getzlaf’s slot as the Ducks’ top-line center as he did Thursday, Eakins revamped his lineup in ways he hasn’t done since the early days of the season, saying “it was time to shake it up.” Zegras had formed a line with Milano and Rakell, but Eakins said he wanted him playing with two more responsible two-way players, so he teamed him with Henrique and Silfverberg for Saturday’s game. Zegras, 20, had the Ducks’ worst plus/minus defensive rating at minus-14 going into the game.
