Chris Pronger joined the Anaheim Ducks ahead of the 2006–07 season, bringing size, snarl, and elite two-way play to a blue line already anchored by Scott Niedermayer. In his first year with the club, Pronger helped lead Anaheim to its first Stanley Cup title in franchise history. In a game versus the San Jose Sharks, he showcased his trademark cannon from the point, blasting home a one-timer in the Ducks 3–1 win. Pronger spent three seasons in Anaheim, solidifying the Ducks as a perennial contender during his time with the team.
