Getzlaf added one more memory with a behind-the-back pass that set up Adam Henrique’s third-period goal.
ANAHEIM — The St. Louis Blues spoiled Ryan Getzlaf’s going-away party Sunday at Honda Center, scoring four times in the second period, erasing a two-goal deficit and tuning up for the Stanley Cup playoffs next week with a comprehensive 6-3 victory over the Ducks in front of a sellout crowd of 17,446.Getzlaf added one more memory for the fans to cherish with a behind-the-back pass off the rush that set up Adam Henrique’s third-period goal, setting off an extended standing ovation.
It was nostalgic for a little more than 20 minutes, with a full house raining thunderous cheers upon Getzlaf during a pregame ceremony in which the Ducks presented him with a golf vacation and a dune buggy driven onto the ice by Hall of Famer and franchise icon Teemu Selanne. The Ducks even managed to build a 2-0 lead despite managing only three shots on goal and being badly outplayed in the first period. Max Comtois and Gerry Mayhew scored for the Ducks on their first and second shots on Blues goalie Ville Husso. St. Louis had the game’s first eight shots.
