The Florida Panthers (1-0-1) are in Orange County to continue a three-game tour of the Golden State when they take on the Anaheim Ducks in their season-opener tonight at Honda Center.
Florida overcame a three-goal deficit and the loss of captain Aleksander Barkov to pluck a point from the San Jose Sharks in a gutsy 4-3 overtime loss at SAP Center on Thursday. Eetu Luostarinen scored twice, including a rare power-play goal, and Matthew Tkachuk fired in his first of the season to the tie th...

Tristan Luneau is still trying to adjust to his new key role as a core piece with the Anaheim Ducks, even after just 14 previous appearances with the big club. He signed a history-making contract extension this past week, earning a $7.2 million AAV on a $43.2M deal over six years. It's the largest contract ever handed out to a player with so few NHL games under his belt. And Luneau himself still can't believe it, according to one of his agents, Jonathan Lachance, speaking with Marc...
There are aggressive bets on young players, and then there is handing $43.2 million to a defenceman who has played 14 NHL games.

As if it hasn't been a difficult enough year already for the Columbus Blue Jackets and GM Don Waddell. Now, this week's shocking, history-making $43M signing of Tristan Luneau by the Anaheim Ducks has put the pressure on Waddell once again.

It seems that Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks have learned their lesson. They're geting way out ahead of the game now, making sure to lock up a young talent long before it becomes an offer sheet issue. And in doing so, they've made history.

Luneau is getting a massive extension, despite having played just 14 games in the NHL.
It appears that the Anaheim Ducks were an offer sheet target this offseason for not just Leo Carlsson. After that whole drama, GM Pat Verbeek and the Ducks had to deal with the possibility of a rival team trying to swoop in on Pavel Mintyukov, another of their coveted restricted free agents, on another huge offer. According to David Pagnotta , speaking on the DFO Insider, they had to move fast to lock in their young D-man, a recent top-10 overall pick. There was an offer that...

The Anaheim Ducks named Mikael Granlund the captain of the team, sparking debate over whether it was a purposeful message sent to Leo Carlsson for accepting the Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet. But that's not Carlsson's fault; it's Ducks management's.
And just like that, one week after it began, the 2026-27 NHL pre-season is over. For the Edmonton Oilers, it couldn’t have come soon enough.
