On June 5, the Ducks hired Greg Cronin, who is the team's 11th head coach in team history. Cronin most recently served as the head coach of the Colorado Avalanche's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Colorado Eagles before becoming the head coach of the Ducks.
The Ducks' 2022–23 season was disappointing (23–47–12; 58 points), finishing second last to the San Jose Sharks in their division. The Ducks have missed the playoffs since 2018, when they were swept in the first round by the San Jose Sharks. This will be the second season the Ducks have entered without a captain.
On March 17, 2024, the Ducks were eliminated from playoff contention for the sixth consecutive season after a 4–2 loss to the St. Louis Blues and the Vegas Golden Knights' 3–1 win against the New Jersey Devils.
