1994–95 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim season
The 1994–95 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim season was the second season in franchise history. Despite a Conference-worst 5–18–1 road record, the team played well at home with an 11–9–4 record. On April 4, the team traded enforcer Stu Grimson, Mark Ferner and the team's sixth-round choice in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for Mike Sillinger and Jason York. Twenty-year-old rookie Paul Kariya was a candidate for the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's top rookie, scoring 18 goals and 39 points in 47 games (the award ultimately went to the Quebec Nordiques' Peter Forsberg).
