The Story in 60 Seconds

The Anaheim Ducks went winless with an 0-2 record in week 3 of the 2026-27 season, dropping them outside the playoff picture following a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. Writer Ethan McGarvey highlights a troubling pattern of early leads turning into losses against both the Calgary Flames and the Bruins, exacerbated by injuries to key players like Mikael Granlund.

Pucks of a Feather argues that special teams struggles contributed to the slump, as Anaheim's power play went 1 for 10 on the week while Boston converted three power-play goals. Despite the setbacks, Beckett Sennecke, Leo Carlsson, and Tim Washe earned recognition as the team's top performers ahead of an upcoming four-game East Coast road trip.
