ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Anaheim Ducks will have plenty of reasons to be proud of their yearlong resilience and late-season determination to make the playoffs after an incredible stretch of early-season injury woes.

Anaheim has several key restricted free agents: Nick Ritchie, 20-goal scorer Ondrej Kase and defencemen Brandon Montour and Welinski.
