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.

Ryan […]

Although there was some hope that the Anaheim Ducks would take a step forward last season — especially with the additions of Alex Killorn and Radko Gudas in free agency — the team struggled mightily once again in 2023-24.

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.
