Surging Ducks Ground Jets for 7th Straight Win
Rookie Beckett Sennecke scored his first two-goal game, while Leo Carlsson netted two power-play goals in a 4-1 victory.
Dominant Performance at Honda Center
The government shutdown may have ended, but the Jets remained grounded Sunday night at Honda Center. The Ducks soared, maintaining their status as the NHL’s hottest team by defeating Winnipeg 4-1.
Having beaten the 2025 Pacific Division champions in Vegas and last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners on back-to-back nights, the Ducks have now won seven straight games. This marks their longest winning streak since the 2021-22 season, when they won eight in a row, and 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,” Sennecke said.
Recent Conquests and Upcoming Challenge
During this strong run, the Ducks have also defeated the reigning two-time Stanley Cup champions twice, a Western Conference finalist, and another 2025 playoff team. Their next game will be against the Colorado Avalanche in Denver, a clash 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.
Key Player Standings
Leo Carlsson is now tied for second place in league-wide points with Chicago’s Connor Bedard, the only player drafted ahead of him in 2023. Both trail behind Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon.
Summary: The Ducks extended their winning streak to seven games, fueled by standout performances from rookies Sennecke and Carlsson, solidifying their position among the NHL’s elite teams.
