2022–23 Anaheim Ducks season
The 2022–23 Anaheim Ducks season was the 30th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 15, 1993. The Ducks attempted to improve on a disappointing 2021–22 campaign (a 31–37–14 record; 76 points) and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2018, when they were swept in the first round by the San Jose Sharks. This is also the first season without longtime captain Ryan Getzlaf as he retired at the end of the 2021–22 season. This is the first season the Ducks have entered without a captain. The Ducks were eliminated from playoff contention on March 19, 2023, after a loss to the Vancouver Canucks and finished with a worse record than the previous season. This is the first full season for the Ducks under general manager Pat Verbeek as former general manager Bob Murray was placed on administrative leave by the team pending the results of an ongoing investigation. On November 10, 2021, Jeff Solomon was named acting general manager but was then the interim general manager when Murray resigned. Then on February 3, 2022, the Ducks named Pat Verbeek the permanent general manager. The Ducks finished the season with a goal differential of –129, the worst for any team in the league since the 1999–2000 Atlanta Thrashers. Standings
