The Anaheim Ducks are playing some undeniably exciting hockey right now. They are currently leading the Pacific Division and riding a lot of momentum as they head into the final stretch of the season. Here are the key storylines surrounding the team and their upcoming schedule for the week of March 23-30, 2026.<\/p>\n

Troy Terry\u2019s OT Heroics<\/p>\n

The biggest story right now is the Ducks\u2019 thrilling 6-5 overtime victory over the red-hot Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, March 22. Troy Terry scored on a breakaway<\/a> just 1:29 into overtime (his second goal of the game) after Mikael Granlund tied the game late in the third period. <\/p>\n

The win snapped Buffalo goalie Alex Lyon\u2019s 10-game road winning streak and extended Anaheim\u2019s current points streak to four games.<\/p>\n

A Dangerous Offense<\/p>\n

Opponents are taking note of Anaheim\u2019s firepower. Following Sunday\u2019s game, Sabres goaltender Lyon openly praised the Ducks, stating he was \u201cextremely impressed<\/a> with their offensive capabilities\u201d and noted that they are a \u201cvery dangerous team.\u201d This is backed up by standout performances across the roster, including Cutter Gauthier, who is currently sitting at 36 goals and closing in on a 40-goal season.<\/p>\n

Herman Tr\u00e4ff Signs ELC<\/p>\n

On the prospect front, the Ducks just signed 20-year-old Swedish winger Herman Tr\u00e4ff<\/a> to a three-year, entry-level contract. Tr\u00e4ff, who had a strong season in Sweden\u2019s HockeyAllsvenskan, will join the American Hockey League (AHL) San Diego Gulls on an amateur tryout agreement for the rest of the year to help with their playoff push.<\/p>\n

Ducks Upcoming Schedule<\/p>\n

The Ducks are heading on a brief but crucial Western Canada road trip before returning to the Honda Center to host the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n
