It was a foregone conclusion that the Ducks were going to make the playoffs, it was just a matter of when. Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout to clinch the Central Division. Well, in doing so, the Hawks helped solidify a playoff berth for our Ducks! Next up is a division title!
