Anaheim Ducks’ power play collapses under Jay Woodcroft’s watch—can this team spark a turnaround before it’s too late? Kyle Kjer dissects the Ducks’ recent struggles, spotlighting a dismal 9.6% power play success rate and persistent issues with zone entries, movement, and creating high-danger opportunities. Is it time for a new quarterback on the man advantage, or will continuing line changes and static play doom Anaheim’s season? Key topics include the Ducks’ lopsided 8-2 defeat against the Dallas Stars, troubling defensive lapses, and mental fatigue after repeated comebacks. Kyle Kjer examines potential solutions like revisiting earlier line combinations—Mason McTavish, Leo Carlsson, Troy Terry—and defensive pairings to ignite results, especially with a pivotal matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets looming.
