The Anaheim Ducks 2006-07 season began during the summer as, under new ownership, they changed their name, logo, and arena name. The change involving their name was dropping the "Mighty" from their name. They came out of the gate to tie an NHL record by getting at least a point in each of their first 16 games, a streak which ended exactly five weeks after their first game.

Predicted to be a Stanley Cup finals favorite by many, they went 12-0-4 (28 Pts.) before they lost their first regulation game of the year, a 3-0 shutout to the Calgary Flames on November 10, 2006. Behind goaltending by J.S. Giguere and Ilya Bryzgalov, an offense headed by Teemu Selänne, and a defense anchored by Scott Niedermayer and offseason acquisition Chris Pronger, the Ducks have worked their way to the one of the NHL's best records.

On January 9, 2007, the NHL announced that Scott Niedermayer had been voted by the fans to start at defense in the 2007 All-Star Game in Dallas.
