After an off-year for him in 2011-12, Getzlaf had a rebound year in the lockout shortened 2013, and continued to excel in 2013-14.  He was second in the league in scoring behind Crosby, and topped 30 goals for the first time, finishing with 31. He propelled the Ducks to the top record in the incredibly tough Western Conference.

Getzlaf is a first time nominee for the Hart and Lindsay Awards
