Surging Ducks Ground Jets for 7th Straight Win
Rookie Beckett Sennecke scored his first two-goal game while Leo Carlsson contributed two power-play goals, leading the Ducks to a 4-1 victory.
Ducks Extend Winning Streak
ANAHEIM — Despite the government shutdown ending, the Jets remained grounded Sunday night at Honda Center, where the Ducks soared to maintain their status as the NHL’s hottest team with a 4-1 win over Winnipeg.
The Ducks have won seven consecutive games, their longest winning streak since the 2021-22 season when they won eight straight. They have triumphed in nine of their last ten matches.
“I heard about the losing days of the past couple years from the older guys, and they’re pretty pumped right now,” said Sennecke.
Impressive Victories Against Top Teams
- The Ducks defeated the 2025 Pacific Division champions in Vegas and last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners on back-to-back nights.
- They have beaten the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions twice.
- They also defeated a Western Conference finalist and another 2025 playoff team.
Upcoming Challenge Against Colorado Avalanche
Next, the Ducks travel to Denver to face the Colorado Avalanche, a clash of the NHL’s two best 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.
Leo Carlsson’s Rising Status
Leo Carlsson is now tied for second place in league-wide points alongside Chicago’s Connor Bedard, the only player drafted ahead of him in 2023, trailing only Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon.
Author’s summary: The Ducks are showing dominance with a seven-game winning streak, proving themselves against top NHL teams while key players Sennecke and Carlsson continue to excel.
