Ducks win 4th straight Pacific title, clinch Jennings Trophy
Started from the bottom, now they're here. (Sorry.)
The Anaheim Ducks are Pacific Division champions. Again. The club locked up its fourth straight division crown - and fifth in franchise history - after beating the Washington Capitals 2-0 on Sunday. The Ducks finish with 103 points to the Los Angeles Kings' 102, a remarkable turn of events considering Anaheim's early-season struggles.
The Ducks lost only 10 of their final 49 games in regulation.
Anaheim will face the Nashville Predators in the first round of the playoffs.
The Ducks also clinched the William Jennings Trophy on Sunday, finishing with 192 goals against. By scoring twice on the Capitals, Washington finished with 193 goals against.
The division title is Bruce Boudreau's eighth as a head coach.
