Anaheim Ducks Rivalries
The Anaheim Ducks aren’t just well-known because of their iconic team name: they are also known for having a fair number of heated rivalries. Here are a few of them to watch out for this season:
Anaheim Ducks vs. Los Angeles Kings
The rivalry between the Ducks and Kings, known as the “Freeway Face-Off,” is one of the fiercest in California hockey. It began as soon as Anaheim entered the NHL in 1993, with Orange County and Los Angeles fans creating a natural divide.
The rivalry reached its peak in the early 2010s when both teams were highly competitive, including an intense seven-game playoff series in 2014 where the Kings ultimately prevailed. The rivalry remains strong, with both teams and their fan bases showing a significant dislike for each other, especially during crucial division games.
The Ducks and Kings will duel on:
- October 20 at 8 p.m. ET on NHL Network
- November 29 at 3:30 p.m. ET
- February 8, 2025 at 10:30 p.m. ET
- April 10 at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+
Anaheim Ducks vs. San Jose Sharks
The rivalry with the Sharks is another in-state battle, with both teams competing for supremacy in California. The rivalry gained traction during the 2008-09 playoffs when the eighth-seeded Ducks upset the top-seeded Sharks in the first round. The Sharks got their revenge by sweeping Anaheim in the 2018 playoffs, adding to the competitive tension.
These teams frequently meet in hard-fought games, often with playoff implications, making it a key rivalry in the Pacific Division.
The Ducks face the Sharks on:
- October 12 at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+
- October 22 at 10:15 p.m. ET on ESPN+
- April 1, 2025 at 10 p.m. ET
Anaheim Ducks vs. Detroit Red Wings
The Ducks and Red Wings developed a strong rivalry during the late 1990s and 2000s when both teams frequently met in the playoffs. Notably, in 2003, Anaheim swept Detroit in the first round, marking a significant moment in franchise history.
The rivalry peaked with multiple playoff clashes, but it has cooled since Detroit moved to the Eastern Conference in 2013, limiting their matchups. However, the history and intensity of past battles keep this rivalry alive in the memories of both teams’ fanbases.
Anaheim and Detroit go head-to-head on:
- November 15 at 10 p.m. ET
- February 23, 2025 at 6 p.m. ET
