Things have not gone well for Dylan Strome in Chicago this season. Strome, 24, has played in just one of the team’s five games thus far, going without a point and already taking one penalty. It’s safe to say that the Chicago Blackhawks don’t see him in their future, and he may even be down to as low as 14th on the team’s depth charts. Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times has reported that the Anaheim Ducks have long had an interest in Stro ..read more

This is rough news for the Anaheim Ducks and McTavish himself. The ..read more

The Anaheim Ducks are coming off of an unfortunate loss in Orange County to the Minnesota Wild, in which backup goaltender Anthony Stolarz almost managed to steal the show. Now, with the Ducks re-assigning Lukas Dostal back to the San Diego Gulls in the American Hockey League, it appears as though we will see John Gibson back in action tonight against the Calgary Flames.
