Ducks clinch Stanley Cup Playoff berth for 1st time in 8 years
Anaheim qualifies with Predators loss, is tied for 2nd in Pacific
The Anaheim Ducks clinched a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday for the first time since 2018.
The Ducks (42-32-6), who were idle, qualified when the Nashville Predators lost 3-2 to the San Jose Sharks. They are tied for second in the Pacific Division with the Edmonton Oilers, one point behind the Vegas Golden Knights. Edmonton holds second place with six more regulation wins than Anaheim (31-25).
Joel Quenneville, who was hired as coach on May 8 to replace Greg Cronin, has the Ducks in the playoffs after they missed out for seven straight seasons, finishing no higher than sixth in their division in that time. Quenneville became the second coach in NHL history to win 1,000 games in Anaheim’s 6-5 victory against Edmonton on Feb. 25.
Anaheim Ducks Clinch Playoffs for First Time in Eight Years
The Anaheim Ducks will end the NHL’s third-longest playoff drought, as the San Jose Sharks defeated the Nashville Predators on Monday, sending the Ducks to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
From ownership to the front office to the roster, the Ducks set this as a goal for themselves in the spring of 2025, following a 2024-25 season that saw them take a 21-point jump out of the league’s basement in the NHL standings.
Some significant changes occurred ahead of the 2025-26 season. The Ducks parted ways with Greg Cronin and most of his coaching staff and moved on from core roster pieces Trevor Zegras and John Gibson.
