- In a write-up regarding the Anaheim Ducks, David Satriano of the NHL relays that the Ducks will lean more heavily on their young stars next season. Anaheim has not qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs since the 2017-18 season and has not finished higher than sixth in their division in the same amount of time. The team should open up more minutes for the likes of Leo Carlsson, Jackson LaCombe, Pavel Mintyukov, and Olen Zellweger so the Ducks can firmly transition into the future. Although Anaheim is not expected to compete for playoffs next season, they hope to play meaningful games well into March and April while being led by their young players.
