The 2015-16 season was a wild ride that saw the Ducks erase a seemingly insurmountable 16-point deficit in the Pacific to earn their fourth consecutive division title on the final day of the regular season. After resuming play following the Christmas break, the Ducks went on a 34-10-5 run for the best record in the NHL (.745 points percentage). Anaheim led the league in wins (34), standings points (73), power-play percentage (27.5%), power-play goals (42), fewest goals allowed (104), goals allowed per game (2.1) and goal differential (+50), and ranked second in goals (154) and goals per game (3.1) and third in penalty killing percentage (86.9%) following the break.
