Surging Ducks Secure 7th Straight Win Over Jets
Rookie Beckett Sennecke recorded his first two-goal game, while Leo Carlsson scored two power-play goals, leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets at Honda Center.
Ducks' Winning Streak and Recent Success
The Ducks extended their winning streak to seven games, their longest since the 2021-22 season when they won eight consecutively. They have now won nine of their last ten matches, including back-to-back wins against the 2025 Pacific Division champions and the previous year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners.
“I heard about the losing days of the past couple years from the older guys, and they’re pretty pumped right now,” said Sennecke.
Strength of Schedule and Upcoming Challenge
During this hot streak, Anaheim has also defeated the reigning two-time Stanley Cup champions twice, a Western Conference finalist, and another playoff team from 2025. Next, they will face the Colorado Avalanche in Denver, a battle between the NHL’s two top teams by points percentage.
“It’ll be a good challenge for us. We knew that our schedule had a bunch of tough teams in a row here, and I think we’re proving why we’re an established team,” Sennecke added.
Individual Achievements
Leo Carlsson currently ranks second in league points, tied with Chicago’s Connor Bedard, the only player drafted ahead of him in 2023, trailing only Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon.
