‘I only want the best for here,’ says the fourth-year coach, whose team is in second-to-last place in the NHL heading into Thursday’s regular-season finale
| UPDATED:IRVINE — In the end, Ducks coach Dallas Eakins simply wants to finish the job that has been started in Anaheim.
With the final chapter of this season about to close for the Ducks , there are questions looming about the future of players and coaches on expiring contracts, including Eakins himself. Just when they will be answered is a decision for general manager Pat Verbeek, who is wrapping up his first full season with the Ducks.
Eakins was talking about a tumultuous 2022-23 season for the Ducks, which has them in contention for last place overall heading into the finale. In an interview in the dressing room at Great Park Ice after the Ducks’ final practice of the season Wednesday, Eakins touched on the future. After three losing seasons under Eakins, the Ducks are sitting in second-to-last place in the NHL, one point ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets. They started the season slowly – failing to win in regulation until Game 20 – and are finishing in roughly the same manner, having not won in their last 12 games.
