It did not take long for Greg Cronin’s first NHL team to carve out an identity … even if not’s exactly the one he’s going for.
Cronin, who spent the previous five seasons as the coach of the Colorado Eagles in the AHL, is in his first year as an NHL head coach with the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks were one of the worst teams in the NHL last season but have been one of the feel-good surprises in 2023-24.
A big part of their success has been their six comeback victories — the most third-period comeback wins by an NHL team the first 15 games of a season.
