The Anaheim Ducks began the 2026-27 NHL season with a strong 3-1-0 record, placing them third in the Pacific Division. Early highlights included a 5-1 victory against the Winnipeg Jets, featuring Mikael Granlund’s 200th career goal and rookie Judd Caulfield’s first NHL goal. Management also focused on long-term stability by signing Tristan Luneau to a six-year, $43.2 million contract.

By late October, the team’s record shifted to 5-6-1. While players like Leo Carlsson maintained high production, the roster faced challenges due to injuries to Troy Terry, Ryan Poehling, and Pavel Mintyukov.
