2013–14 Anaheim Ducks season

The 2013–14 Anaheim Ducks season was the 21st season of operation (20th season of play) for the National Hockey League franchise. The Ducks achieved their best regular season record in franchise history, amassing 116 points and finishing first in the Western Conference and second in the NHL, behind only the Boston Bruins. However, the Ducks only won one playoff series; after defeating the Dallas Stars in six games in the first round, they fell in seven games to their crosstown rival Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Semifinal. 
This was Teemu Selanne's final season, following 23 NHL seasons and 15 in which he played for Anaheim.
