The Ducks need changes. Or help. Or both.
Their slump reached 0-6-2 on Sunday and they’re barely clinging to a playoff spot. They ranked 30th in goals per game at 2.35 through Sunday’s action and their top scorer, Ryan Getzlaf, stood 96th in the league with 29 points. But it’s virtually certain general manager Bob Murray, who last month got a two-year extension through the 2021-22 season, won’t lose his job. Murray doesn’t want to dismiss or displace coach Randy Carlyle, who’s under contract through this season and has an option for next season, but it’s time for a new voice.
