Anaheim Ducks News & Notes:

Anaheim still hasn’t crossed the barrier of becoming a successful playoff hockey club. After another year of disappointment, the Ducks are looking to get their young roster players more experience. The Ducks were a team in on some of the superstar talent at the Trade Deadline to help improve their roster long-term. Anaheim has plenty of talented prospects and draft capital to make a trade splash, but does one come before the 2025 NHL Draft?

Dallas Stars News & Notes:

Dallas is still in a heated battle with the Colorado Avalanche for home-ice advantage in the playoffs. With the newly acquired Mikko Rantanen getting acclimated to the franchise, the Stars have their eyes set on the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
