Not only did Anaheim clinch a spot with the win, but they also leapfrogged the Los Angeles Kings - who qualified for the postseason earlier in the night - for third place in the Pacific Division.
The Ducks are the seventh Western Conference team to clinch their playoff spot this season, with St. Louis and Colorado left to duke it out for the final wild-card berth.
Anaheim won the Cup back in 2007, and advanced to the Western Conference finals last season, losing to Nashville in six games.
