Ducks Week Ahead: Division Crown, Comebacks and Key Games

The Anaheim Ducks, with a 41-28-4 record, are at the top of the Pacific Division under coach Joel Quenneville.

The team is in a fierce battle with the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights for the division title.

Securing a playoff spot, for the first time in eight seasons, is now an imminent reality for the Ducks.

Mikael Granlund scored an overtime goal with one second remaining on March 26, completing a hat trick against the Calgary Flames.

Granlund is only the second player in franchise history, after Teemu Selanne, to score multiple hat tricks in his first season with the club.

This performance highlights Granlund's importance to the team.

The Ducks' scouting department celebrates the performance of their prospects in the NCAA tournament.

Six Anaheim prospects took part in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, including Roger McQueen, the 10th overall pick in 2025, who was named Hockey East Rookie of the Year.

This success underlines the team's strong foundation of young talent.

The Ducks are coming off a loss against the Edmonton Oilers, snapping a four-game winning streak.

The schedule for the upcoming week presents opportunities for Anaheim to bounce back and solidify their playoff position, with three of their next four games at home.

Games against the Toronto Maple Leafs, St. Louis Blues and Flames will be crucial for the standings.

The Ducks will face the Toronto Maple Leafs, who previously beat them 6-4 in March.

The games against the St. Louis Blues and the Flames will represent an important physical test, requiring Lukas Dostal and Ville Husso to manage the workload in the net.

The team must prepare for a series of intense games in their quest to secure a playoff spot.
