Getzlaf sits out Monday practice; expected to play Tuesday in World Cup final

TORONTO — Ryan Getzlaf didn’t practice Monday ahead of the World Cup of Hockey final.

Hockey Canada said it was just a maintenance day for the 31-year-old, who played more than 17 minutes and posted an assist in Canada’s 5-3 win over Russia in Saturday’s semifinal.

Getzlaf was among three regulars to sit out one game during the preliminary round along with Carey Price and Shea Weber.

It’s expected that Getzlaf will be available to play when Canada faces Europe in the tournament final, a best-of-three that begins Tuesday night.

Head coach Mike Babcock was expected to offer an update following practice.
