Anaheim Ducks Player Grades: Teemu Selanne

Regular Season

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

Selanne played in 64 games this past season. He had nine goals and 18 assists for a total of 27 points.

This was one of Selanne’s lowest production seasons in his career, however he also saw his average ice time reduced as well. He had his best game against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 15 when he scored two goals and nearly earned a hat trick in a 9-1 win.

Selanne is still a fast skater, but seemed to lose a little bit of step this season. The bigger issue was his puck possession. It seemed the opposing players were able to knock him off the puck too easily. Selanne turned the puck over many times this season.

Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau played Selanne on the third line for most of the season, but there was a stretch where he played on the top line with Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.

I would have liked to see him on that line longer to see how he would have finished the season.
