The Ducks announced today that the club has signed captain Ryan Getzlaf to an eight-year contract extension. The 2007 Stanley Cup champion and 2010 Olympic gold medalist is now under contract with the Ducks through the 2020-21 NHL season.
 
“We are very happy to have Ryan committed to this franchise long-term,” said Ducks Executive Vice President/GM Bob Murray. “He has often expressed his interest to stay in Anaheim for his entire career, a goal we share. He is a leader, a proven winner, and possesses a skill set that’s hard to find. This is a great day for the Ducks.”
 
Getzlaf, 27, has appeared in 534 career NHL games with the Ducks, scoring 499 points with a +77 rating and 504 penalty minutes. Named the eighth captain in Ducks history on Oct. 3, 2010, Getzlaf ranks third among all-time franchise leaders in points and assists, fifth in goals and power-play goals (55), fourth in game-winning goals (25), second in plus/minus and sixth in appearances.
