The Anaheim Ducks currently sit outside of a playoff spot. However, contrary to the Montreal Canadiens, they are right in the middle of the race.
The injury bug has been following the team, so it's no surprise that they have been struggling to establish themselves as the powerhouse we have come to expect. But with some key players coming back recently, the Ducks’ record should improve. And it is to be expected that a healthier version of the team picks up steam, carrying itself to the post-season.
This would place them as buyers at the trade deadline.
