The 2010–11 Anaheim Ducks season was the 18th season of operation (17th season of play) for the National Hockey League franchise. After a disappointing previous season, the Ducks attempted to win the Stanley Cup for the second time in franchise history. They were ultimately defeated by the Nashville Predators in the first round of the playoffs.
The Anaheim Ducks entered the offseason with much speculation regarding the possible retirement of two mainstays in Anaheim: Scott Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne. On Tuesday, June 22, 2010, captain Scott Niedermayer announced his retirement from professional hockey while it was reported that Selanne will stay as long as the Ducks don't go into a "rebuilding" season.
On July 1, the Ducks re-signed center Saku Koivu to a 2-year deal and signed defenseman Toni Lydman to a 3-year deal. The Ducks later signed Andy Sutton to a 2-year deal, and on August 9, Teemu Selanne signed a 1-year deal to continue his playing career.
During training camp, the Ducks signed defenseman Paul Mara to a 1-year deal, and after a few games into the season, the Ducks signed another defenseman, veteran Andreas Lilja to a 1-year deal.
Forward Ryan Getzlaf is named team captain, following Scott Niedermayer's retirement.
The season for the Ducks began Friday, October 8 with a road game against Detroit. Their first home game was Wednesday, October 13 against Vancouver. Their longest homestand was from February 23-March 9 (7 home games), and their longest road trip was December 15–28 (7 road games). Their final game of the regular season was on Saturday, April 9 against Los Angeles.
