The 2017–18 Anaheim Ducks season was the 25th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 15, 1993.[2] For the first time since the 2011–12 season, the Ducks failed to win the Pacific Division; snapping a 5-year streak. They later advanced to the playoffs, but were swept by the San Jose Sharks in the first round. As of 2024, this was the last time the Ducks made the playoffs.

Notes

[edit]
  1. The San Jose Sharks' second-round pick went to the Anaheim Ducks as the result of a trade on June 20, 2016, that sent Frederik Andersen to Toronto in exchange for Pittsburgh's first-round pick in 2016 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[47] The condition – Anaheim will receive the middle pick of Ottawa, San Jose or Toronto's second-round picks in 2017.[48] – was converted on May 9, 2017, when Ottawa advanced to the 2017 Eastern Conference Final, ensuring the Sharks' second-round pick would be higher than the Senators' and lower than the Maple Leafs'.
