Sennecke’s Rising Star Power Shines in Anaheim
So, let’s talk about Beckett Sennecke—because this kid is becoming one of the most exciting storylines of the Anaheim Ducks’ season. Every once in a while, a young player steps into the NHL and makes it look like the league forgot to warn him how hard it’s supposed to be. And right now, Sennecke is doing exactly that.
His highlight moment came in that recent game when he went top corner from in tight to tie things 3–3. It wasn’t just a goal—it was one of those crisp, confident plays that made everyone watching sit up a little straighter. The puck was lifted under the bar so smoothly that it almost felt rehearsed. But that’s the thing with Sennecke: nothing about his game feels forced. It all looks natural, even when the stakes are high.
What’s impressive is how consistent he’s been. The stat line says it loud and clear—20 points in 26 games, leading all NHL rookies. And while most teenagers come into the league needing time to adjust, Sennecke seems to have shown up already playing at NHL speed. An eight-game point streak has been built quietly, almost casually, as if he’s just warming up.

But beyond the numbers, it’s the way he plays that has people talking. You watch him along the boards now, and you see a big frame being used with real intent. Earlier in his development, he might’ve been muscled off pucks. Now he’s the one controlling the battle, using his reach and strength to keep plays alive. And the finesse? Still fully intact. His patience with the puck is what steals the show. That slow-down move he used before setting up the overtime winner against Utah—freezing three skaters and the goalie—was something most rookies wouldn’t even imagine trying.
A lot of this growth is happening on Anaheim’s so-called “Kid Line,” where he’s been slotted next to Mason McTavish and Cutter Gauthier. It’s a perfect blend of grit, scoring touch, and creativity. Sennecke’s the connector—the guy who sees the open ice before anyone else does. And even when he’s not scoring, he’s drawing penalties and creating momentum.
Of course, the learning curve is still there. He’s had moments where the risks didn’t pay off—like the attempted dangle against Dallas that turned into a goal against. But instead of punishing him, the coaches have kept giving him minutes, letting him play through the mistakes. That’s how you develop a star, and the Ducks seem to know exactly what they have in him.
Off the ice, he’s still very much a teenager figuring out life. No car yet, hitching rides with teammates, rooming with Leo Carlsson on the road, and choosing “Manchild” as his goal song—because why not embrace the joke?
Whether he wins the Calder or not, one thing is clear: Anaheim has a special player on its hands. And the way he’s trending, this might just be the beginning of something big.
