John Gibson earned his first shutout of the season to lead the Ducks to a 2-0 victory over the Dallas Stars last night at Honda Center.

The Improved Ducks Power Play: How it Works and How it Doesn’t

After being one of the worst teams on the power play all season, the Ducks are finally starting to turn it around. On December 14th, the Ducks owned the 30th ranked power play at a measly 14.3%.

Dostal, the Post, and a Point

Shootout in the Wilderness Ends in Ducks Defeat

The Anaheim Ducks traveled to Minnesota to take on the Wild for a rare matinee showdown in their 3rd game of a 4-game Central Division road trip on Saturday.
