The Latest Breaking News from Ducks

This Tuesday night homecoming had “trap game” written all over it before some hard-nosed work helped the Kraken grind out a fifth consecutive victory.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Anaheim Ducks had a sneak preview of what life would be after the trade deadline when they played without defensemen John Klingberg and Dmitry Kulikov against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday when the two were scratched for trade-related reasons.

LOS ANGELES — After making a splash earlier this week by trading goaltender Jonathan Quick to Columbus (and watching him move on to Vegas), the Kings completed only a couple of low-impact deals before the NHL trade deadline passed Friday with little fuss and few big names changing uniforms.

CALGARY, Alberta — Jordan Greenway's uneven season with the Wild has come to an end.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — How about taking a brief pause in the non-stop trade activity/rumors/speculation and take part in a moment of appreciation for goaltender John Gibson?

With a number of new faces in various roles — including newly acquired forward Joey Anderson and defenseman Andreas Englund — the upheaved Hawks fell 4-2 in Anaheim, ending their five-game winning streak.

ANAHEIM — Four-point swings aren’t quite what they used to be.

Which NHL teams should be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?

RALEIGH, N.C. — With 86 points this season, the Carolina Hurricanes had twice as many as the Anaheim Ducks when the teams took the ice Saturday — which meant nothing once the puck dropped to start the game.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Lightning started slowly Tuesday night, but when they found their game, the goals came with a flurry.

Unfortunately, the Kraken celebrated Presidents Day just like so many of us by not showing up to work — in this case, a road game against the San Jose Sharks.
