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.
Troy Terry’s OT Heroics
The biggest story right now is the Ducks’ thrilling 6-5 overtime victory over the red-hot Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, March 22. Troy Terry scored on a breakaway just 1:29 into overtime (his second goal of the game) after Mikael Granlund tied the game late in the third period.
The win snapped Buffalo goalie Alex Lyon’s 10-game road winning streak and extended Anaheim’s current points streak to four games.
A Dangerous Offense
Opponents are taking note of Anaheim’s firepower. Following Sunday’s game, Sabres goaltender Lyon openly praised the Ducks, stating he was “extremely impressed with their offensive capabilities” and noted that they are a “very dangerous team.” 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.
Herman Träff Signs ELC
On the prospect front, the Ducks just signed 20-year-old Swedish winger Herman Träff to a three-year, entry-level contract. Träff, who had a strong season in Sweden’s 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.

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.
