Originally drafted by the New York Rangers as their fifth-round pick (141st overall) in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Gettinger has appeared in parts of four seasons with them from 2018 to 2022. He recorded one assist over 16 NHL games. In his AHL career with both Hartford and Grand Rapids since the 2018-19 season, he has compiled a total of 158 points along with accumulating significant penalty minutes.

Before joining professional ranks, Gettinger played four seasons with Sault Ste.

The Cleveland native also represented Team USA internationally at events such as the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
