Anaheim Ducks snap their slump as Mason McTavish breaks a 15-game goalless drought with a game-winning performance against the Vancouver Canucks. Can McTavish’s renewed spark fuel a deeper playoff push for Anaheim? John Carlson also shines with a three-assist night, driving the Ducks’ momentum and solidifying their place atop a faltering Pacific Division.
Kyle Kjer breaks down the Ducks’ resurgence, spotlighting McTavish’s aggressive forechecking, Carlson’s instant chemistry with Pavel Mintyukov, and the team’s newfound energy. Key topics include lineup shifts after Jansen Harkins’ injury, defensive pairings, and how the Ducks’ prospects—like Roger McQueen and Alexandre Blais—are making waves in the upcoming NCAA Frozen Four. Plus, what do evolving college hockey pathways and new Division I programs mean for Anaheim’s future pipeline?

What do you think happens with olen ? I really like him and his skating ability
If Carlson keeps it up, I'll eat my words about his value vs a 1st rounder.
On the other hand, I defended McTavish and hopefully, he's back on the right track for good.
Vamos Patos! 🦆
