Ducks wrap up season with win over rival Kings. MORE:
Daniel Sprong, Carter Rowney and Jakob Silfverberg also scored, and John Gibson made 44 saves as the Ducks earned their first victory in four games in this season's Freeway Faceoff rivalry.
Rookie Max Jones had two assists in his first career multi-point game for the Ducks , who surged to finish with 80 points, matching the franchise's lowest total in a full season since 2004. After both teams were swept out of the first round in last spring's playoffs, Los Angeles struggled from the start this season, finally unable to use its grit and defensive acumen to compensate for years of offensive stagnation.
Both teams are likely to have new coaching staffs in the fall after they fired their head coaches to little avail during the season, and both are hoping for good news in the draft lottery Tuesday. Anaheim general manager Bob Murray finished with a 14-11-1 record behind the bench after firing Randy Carlyle and installing himself as the interim coach.
The Ducks went up 2-1 when Holzer slammed home a pass from Jones for the veteran German defenceman's first NHL goal since April 2, 2017, and just his fifth over seven NHL seasons with Toronto and Anaheim.
