The Ducks have looked to Adam Oates for leadership more than anything else this season, as the 40-year-old tied a career low with just nine goals. But Oates stepped up big with two PP goals in the clinching game to reach the finals for the second time in his 18-year career.

Mike Leclerc has been a non-descript second-line winger for most of his seven-year career, but he has been clutch for the Ducks in the playoffs. Leclerc is tied for the team lead with 10 postseason points, and his plus-8 rating is second only to Sandis Ozolinsh's plus-9.
