It’s no secret the Anaheim Ducks have high hopes for Lukas Dostal and his long-term outlook in the NHL. Dostal played well in his rookie season last year. And so far, the Ducks netminder has certainly shown up big in 2024-25. Ducks forward Troy Terry is certainly a fan of his work, and especially of […]

The Colorado Avalanche are one of the NHL’s biggest surprises in 2024-25 — and not in a good way.

And the goaltending situation is going from bad […]

The Anaheim Ducks missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again in 2024. Anaheim hired a new head coach to lead the team behind the bench beginning in 2023-24. And at first, it seemed as if things were going well. The Ducks handed the Vegas Golden Knights their first regulation loss after Vegas won the Stanley […]

Players are gearing up for training camp across the NHL. With NHL Free Agency largely in the review mirror, most notable free agents have found a new home.

The Anaheim Ducks are looking to take a step forward in the rebuild in 2024-25 after six straight seasons without a postseason appearance — and that could come at the expense of one of the team’s most impactful players. Cam Fowler, who has spent his entire career in California after being drafted No. 12 overall […]

The Anaheim Ducks must power out of their rebuild soon. The Ducks drafted Beckett Sennecke third overall to help them do that in 2024. With just weeks to go before training camp, they were given brutal injury news on the forward. Sennecke will be out for six to eight weeks with a foot fracture, according […]

The Anaheim Ducks had a quiet NHL Free Agency period this summer. Anaheim signed a lot of their own players. For instance, the Ducks inked Jackson LaCombe to a two-year contract in the offseason. However, most of the team’s roster additions came through trade. The Ducks traded for Robby Fabbri in a move with the […]

It’s not often that a professional sports franchise is formed due to the success of a Disney film, but that’s exactly what happened when Southern California welcomed its second National Hockey League team in the early 1990s. The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, owned by the Walt Disney Company and based on the 1992 Emilio Estevez […]

The Anaheim Ducks have missed the playoffs in six consecutive seasons. Last year was a disaster in the first year with Greg Cronin as the head coach.

Anaheim Ducks legend Ryan Getzlaf had an excellent NHL career, putting up over 1000 points and playing in 1000 games. He announced his next career move on Wednesday and it showed that even a beloved player like Getzlaf can’t save the NHL Department of Player Safety from being the butt of social media jokes. Ryan […]

The Anaheim Ducks had a less-than-ideal season in 2023-24. After a surprisingly good start to the season, the Ducks fell apart. Trevor Zegras dealt with injuries for most of the season.

The Anaheim Ducks were involved in one of the more surprising moves of the 2023-24 NHL season when they acquired Cutter Gauthier in a trade from the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Anaheim Ducks have not made a ton of moves through NHL Free Agency to this point. In fact, most of their notable moves have come through trades, such as trading for forward Robby Fabbri. However, they have done well to sign internal free agents. And they did it again on Monday with defenseman Jackson […]

The Montreal Canadiens aren’t shopping trade candidates for David Savard because he hasn’t been a good player for them since signing the contract in 2021-22. He signed with the Canadiens after defeating them in the 2021 Stanley Cup Final with the Tampa Bay Lightning, thinking they could be a team that competes. However, the playoff […]

The Anaheim Ducks and John Gibson have looked at possible trade destinations for years. Whenever it seems like there is a suitor, the Ducks get cold feet, or Gibson decides he wants to stay in Orange County. The problem now is that Gibson is 30 years old, and it’s hard to find a team in […]

It’s been in the works for years, but it’s time for the Anaheim Ducks to find Trevor Zegras a trade destination. Zegras felt like a perfect fit for the Ducks.
