The Anaheim Ducks have emerged as a competitive team in the NHL, boasting a remarkable goaltending duo in John Gibson and Lukas Dostal. As of now, they sit at a .500 record, a significant improvement from previous seasons. Gibson ranks ninth, while Dostal is thirteenth in the league in save percentage, both showcasing stellar performances this season.

Trade rumors continue to swirl around Gibson, with the Carolina Hurricanes and Edmonton Oilers being named as potential suitors. Despite his desire for a starting role, Gibson's current contract and performance have made teams cautious. With the Ducks' management setting a high asking price, teams looking for goaltending help are weighing their options carefully.

Lukas Dostal delivered a stellar performance with 43 saves, leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 2-1 shootout victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Trevor Zegras and Leo Carlsson netted goals in the shootout, marking the Ducks' sixth win in seven games. Brian Dumoulin, who scored his first goal of the season, opened the scoring early in the third period. The Kings managed to tie it up with Adrian Kempe's goal late in the game, but fell short as David Rittich faced 24 shots in his first back-to-back starts.

This matchup saw minimal action in the first two periods, with Dumoulin finally breaking the deadlock as he scored after 54 games. The game, known as the Freeway Faceoff, was marked by defensive struggles, particularly for the Kings, who had previously scored 14 goals in their last three games. The Ducks head into the international break with a surge of momentum.

Mason McTavish played a pivotal role in leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 6-4 victory over the Seattle Kraken. He scored the tying goal early in the second period and assisted on Robby Fabbri's go-ahead goal just over four minutes later. The Ducks surged with three goals in the first eight minutes of the second period, showcasing a remarkable turnaround after a rough patch where they lost seven of eight games.

In addition to McTavish and Fabbri, Troy Terry, Cutter Gauthier, Jackson LaCombe, and Frank Vatrano contributed to the scoreline, each netting a goal. The Ducks have now won three consecutive games, largely due to solid performances from their players, including Lukas Dostal, who made 26 saves. The Kraken saw goals from Eeli Tolvanen, Mitchell Stephens, Jaden Schwartz, and Shane Wright, but ultimately couldn't overcome the Ducks' offensive onslaught.

In a tightly contested match, the Tampa Bay Lightning triumphed over the Anaheim Ducks with a 4-3 victory that culminated in a shootout. Jake Guentzel emerged as the decisive player, netting the only goal in the shootout. Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli, and Guentzel contributed to the Lightning's regulation goals, while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 34 saves, including a perfect performance in the shootout.

The Ducks showcased their resilience, with Robby Fabbri, Troy Terry, and Leo Carlsson finding the back of the net. Fabbri's goal in the third period, assisted by Jacob Trouba, tied the game and forced overtime, extending the Ducks' challenging road trip to 1-3-1.

The Anaheim Ducks triumphed over the Carolina Hurricanes with a 3-2 overtime victory, highlighted by Cutter Gauthier's two-goal performance, including the game-winner just under two minutes into overtime. This win marked a much-needed turnaround for the Ducks after a three-game skid. Jansen Harkins also contributed to the score sheet, while Lukas Dostal showcased his skills in goal, stopping 35 shots.

Despite the loss, the Hurricanes displayed offensive pressure, particularly with Andrei Svechnikov's power-play goal and Seth Jarvis’s last-minute equalizer. Carolina's Pyotr Kochetkov managed 17 saves in a game where they heavily outshot the Ducks yet failed to capitalize on their chances.
