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. It was the sixth straight postseason-less campaign for the Ducks, who continue to rebuild but do […]

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 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.
