New franchise records and a third-string goalie have helped the Anaheim Ducks surge back up the standings

The Anaheim Ducks went 4-0 in week six of the 2026-27 NHL season, capping a Western Canadian road trip with victories over the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames. This winning streak moved Anaheim to 19 points in the standings, placing them just outside the playoff picture. Key contributors included third-string goaltender Laurent Brossoit, who posted a 3-0 record since his recall from the AHL's San Diego Gulls, and forward Cutter Gauthier, who scored eight goals in four games to set a new franchise record.

Defenseman Jackson LaCombe also established a new franchise record while leading the team in ice time. Despite the team's strong week, concerns persist regarding primary goaltender Lukas Dostal, who struggled and was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots against Calgary. Writer Ethan McGarvey suggests Anaheim general manager Pat Verbeek may need to consider a trade if Dostal's poor play continues.
