The Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks signed Ryan Getzlaf to a five-year extension worth $26.625 million that begins next season and runs through 2012-13.

The 22-year-old center has seven goals and 14 assists in 19 games this season.

Getzlaf would have become a restricted free agent at the end of the season.

WILD'S DEMITRA, KOIVU OUT: The Minnesota Wild will be without two of its top scorers, Pavol Demitra and Mikko Koivu, for today's game against Vancouver.

Demitra, whose status is evaluated daily, will try to participate in the morning skatearound but will miss his eighth game in the past 10 because of a groin injury.

Koivu, who has a cracked bone in his leg, will sit out for the second straight game.

STARS' FEDORUK SENT DOWN: Dallas Stars forward Todd Fedoruk cleared waivers on Tuesday and was assigned to Iowa of the AHL, leaving Dallas on the hook for his $875,000 salary this season.

AVALANCHE MOVES: Defenseman Karlis Skrastins was taken off the injured list and Cody McCormick was recalled from the Colorado Avalanche AHL affiliate in time for Tuesday's game against Calgary.
