The Anaheim Ducks have had another great regular season to this point. Currently, they are third in the Western Conference and the NHL with a 35-15-7 record. Their 77 points are 11 more than the second-place San Jose Sharks in the Pacific Division, while their 36 points earned in road-games is the most in the NHL.

However, the Ducks have seen this movie before: a great regular season that gave a lot of postseason expectations. The Ducks have won the Pacific Division title the past two seasons, yet have won just one playoff round in those two seasons. They hope to flip this script this season, and this Ducks team may have more talent than either of the previous two. However their recent road-trip (especially some lopsided losses) have fans concerned.

The Ducks have the skill, chemistry and ability to contend for a Stanley Cup if they do these three things.
