Anaheim Ducks Team Record, Trades, Team Analysis, and NHL Prediction 2024-25

The Anaheim Ducks hit the ice this season with little to show for years of struggle, stuck in a cycle that seems to lead nowhere. Despite flashes of young talent, the team lacks the cohesion and depth to compete, leaving fans questioning if real progress is on the horizon. Track the Anaheim Ducks’ standings, stats, and odds as they attempt to shake off yet another season of low expectations and strive for something more than just staying afloat

Anaheim Ducks Record – Last Season Recap

The Anaheim Ducks’ record in 2023-24 was more of the same: plenty of losing. The Ducks started with a decent record with nine wins in their first 15 games. Then they won only 16 games for the rest of the season en route to another bottom-five finish in the NHL.

Final 2023-24 Record:

The preseason Anaheim Ducks odds had the team finishing at 68.5 points, a step up from its 58 points in 2022-23 but also much lower than that season’s 79.5 projection. And yet Anaheim found a way to go under its regular-season point totals yet again.

Top Performers:

Frank Vatrano was a surprising NHL pick when it comes to leading scorers for the team. He finished with 37 goals and 60 points and is the only Duck who played all 82 games. Troy Terry chipped in with 20 goals

Anaheim Ducks Trades (Additions and Subtractions)

The Anaheim Ducks traded picks and prospects for a few veterans. These should hardly move the team’s NHL odds.

Key Departures:

  • F Max Jones

Key Additions:

  • F Robby Fabbri
  • F Jansen Harkins
  • D Brian Dumoulin
  • G James Reimer

Fabbri and Dumoulin join the Ducks as veterans with Stanley Cup pedigrees. The Ducks’ brass hope their leadership will rub off on the team and lead to a better culture.

Ducks Prediction for the 2024-25 NHL Season

Don’t expect Anaheim to make shocking NHL news of any kind. Making the playoffs is still a long shot for this team. Ducks fans can only hope the team wins more games as its young players develop promisingly.

Regular Season Wins Prediction

The Anaheim Ducks’ predictions have them at 70.5 points, which is slightly up from last season and similar to 2021-22 when the Ducks last beat these projections. Anaheim finished with 76 points in what was its best showing since 2018-19.

Playoff Chances

Anaheim is unlikely to make the playoffs based on its NHL playoff odds. Still, stranger things have happened. The Ducks will need its young players to take big steps forward while getting strong goaltending.

Key Players to Watch

Speaking of goaltending, Lukas Dostal and John Gibson are the Ducks’ X-Factors. Dostal had a solid 2023-24 and could usurp the starting job. As for Gibson, he’s been disgruntled and could demand a trade with two years left in his deal.

Coaching Analysis

Greg Cronin enters his second season with the team. He is a defensive-minded coach who asserts structure and discipline, which worked in the early parts of last season. But if the Ducks continue to decline, consider him on the hot seat.
