Anaheim continues rebuilding and rejuvenating the lineup. Many of the club's past leaders have either finished their careers or have been traded away. Now the Ducks are led by promising and ambitious youngsters who still need to gain experience.

Dallas Eakins's men have failed seven of their last nine meetings, defeating Calgary and Columbus 3-1 and 7-4. Anaheim is only in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

At the end of the transfer window, they started to give away their leaders, among whom Vladimir Tarasenko and Ryan O'Reilly stand out. Surprisingly, things picked up for the club after winning three times in their last four games, moving up to 11th place in the Western Conference.
