Pre-season

The Ducks only made two moves that summer after making a lot of roster moves in early 2001 acquiring Keith Carney from Phoenix for a 2001 2nd round Draft pick on June 19 and enforcer Denny Lambert rejoined the franchise on July 2 for 2002 8th round draft pick.

Regular season

The season after trading Teemu Selanne to the Sharks did not see the Mighty Ducks improve their scoring depth as the team was second to last in the west with 175 goals. Trying to fill this void the scoring of Mike Leclerc and Matt Cullen improved and Jeff Friesen delivered the scoring expected from him, it was not enough. German Titov, while improving could still not live up to the expectations. Marty McInnes rebound season in 2000-2001 had the Mighty Ducks hoping for another 20 goal season but ended up with only 9 goals before getting traded to Boston. After missing almost all of last season, Steve Rucchin missed the first half of this season appearing in only 38 games while still recovering from the face injury he sustained. The Mighty Ducks also heavily struggled on the power play during the regular season, finishing 30th overall in power-play percentage, at 11.53% (43 for 373).[1] Their Defense and Goaltending improved a lot, allowing only 198 goals (245 the season before). Giguere settled in nicely as the new number one winning 20 games while Steve Shields served as a solid backup.
