The Anaheim Ducks had a relatively quiet NHL trade deadline period, as was expected given their current roster construction and their position in the standings during the month leading up to the deadline.

The NHL trade deadline came and went and the landscape of the NHL has become clearer since this time last week. It was a relatively quiet one for the Anaheim Ducks as their placement in league standings likely discouraged general manager Pat Verbeek from buying and the lack of pending UFAs on the roster prevented him from selling too much.

After losing three of their last four games, the Ducks are looking to get back into the win column against the New York Islanders. The Ducks are coming off a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues on March 7 while the Islanders are coming off a 4-2 win against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Islanders have won four of their last five games.

Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek is making the most of his Thursday. Earlier this morning, he traded defenseman Brian Dumoulin to the New Jersey Devils for a second-round pick and prospect Herman Träff.

The Anaheim Ducks went on the road for a pivotal back-to-back trip to Canada to play the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks, who they’re currently chasing in the Western Conference playoff picture. A picture they’re just barely remaining in the frame of, as after the two-game set, they’re six points out of the second wild card spot with three teams ahead of them in the race and 21 games remaining on their schedule.

Less than 12 hours removed from scoring his second goal as an Anaheim Duck, defenseman Brian Dumoulin is no longer a member of the organization.

The NHL trade deadline is upon us, and it is scheduled for Friday at noon PST. John Gibson is the top goaltender reportedly on the trade market, and his reported preferences are the Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes.

The NHL trade deadline is just under one week away, set for noon PST on Friday, March 7. The biggest story heading into this pivotal week of the season is the circumstances surrounding Mikko Rantanen and the Carolina Hurricanes.

Trevor Zegras has now officially served his three-game suspension for a late and high hit to Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen in the second period of the Ducks’ 5-4 OT loss on Feb. 23.

The Anaheim Ducks began their March with a home matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks at Honda Center on Saturday.
