COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) - The Anaheim Ducks' offense has not hadmuch success against the Columbus Blue Jackets this season, butRyan Getzlaf will attempt to change that Monday night.

Getzlaf will look to extend his three-game point streak when theDucks visit the Blue Jackets.


The 22-year-old center notched his first shorthanded goal of theseason and second career in Saturday's 4-2 loss to theNashville Predators. He has two tallies and three assists inthree contests since defenseman Scott Niedermayer announcedWednesday that he would be returning.


Getzlaf leads Anaheim with 20 assists and 33 points, while CoreyPerry has a team-leading 15 goals this season.


However, nobody on the Ducks' offense has had much successagainst the Blue Jackets this season, no matter who is in goalfor them.


In its season opener, Columbus blanked Anaheim, 4-0, with PascalLeclaire making 28 saves on October 5. Rob Niedermayer scoredthe lone regulation tally for the Ducks on November 1 as theyposted a 2-1 shootout victory.


The Blue Jackets have been led offensively by Rick Nash, who has18 goals and 31 points on the campaign.
