    With the innate confidence of a born athlete, Ryan Getzlaf says he's sure he can handle the extra pressure that comes with being the Anaheim Ducks captain.

    He demonstrated why in the third period of their home opener, with more than a little help from his linemates.

    Getzlaf set up Corey Perry's tying goal and Bobby Ryan's go-ahead score 1:18 apart in the third, and the Ducks finally earned their first victory of the season, 4-3 over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.

    Getzlaf had a goal and three assists in his home debut wearing the "C," and Jonas Hiller made 36 saves while keeping the Ducks close before an impressive third period by their talented top line. Getzlaf, Perry and Ryan -- all medal-winning Olympians with $25 million-plus contracts -- went scoreless with a collective minus-12 rating while Anaheim lost its first three games by a combined 13-2.
