contested in the series; three went into overtime, including one that went into double overtime and one went into triple overtime. The 1997–98 season was the worst in Mighty Ducks history as the team finished with a disappointing 26–43–13 record. Kariya was injured and Selanne provided the only real source of offense for the Ducks. Despite the team's lack of success, Selanne finished the season tied for first in the NHL in goals with 52, still a team record, and eighth in the NHL in points with 86. The 1998–99 season was a marked improvement for the Mighty Ducks, as Kariya was once again healthy and the team was a strong contender for the 1999 playoffs. Late in the season, Anaheim had the chance to face Phoenix, a team they played well against that season, in the first round due to Phoenix holding fourth seed and the Mighty Ducks holding fifth. However, a late-season cold streak dropped the Ducks to sixth, matching them up with third-seeded Detroit, whom they did not play well against. Selanne won the inaugural Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy—awarded to the individual with the most goals in the NHL–after scoring 47. Additionally, Kariya ended the season third in the NHL with 62 assists, while Selanne placed fourth, with 60. Selanne finished the season second in the NHL with 107 points with Kariya following in third with 101 points. However, the Mighty Ducks were again swept by the Red Wings, this time in a more convincing manner than in 1997, ending with a 3–0 loss on home ice. Once again the Mighty Ducks regressed during the 1999–2000 season, finishing with a mediocre 34–33–12–3 record (83 points), putting them in last place in the Pacific. They missed the playoffs by four points, as the rival San Jose Sharks took eighth place that year with 87 points. Despite this, the Mighty Ducks scored more goals than the Western Conference champion Dallas Stars. Kariya finished fourth in the NHL in goals, with 42, while Selanne seventh in assists, with 52. Points-wise, Kariya and Selanne finished fourth (86) and fifth (85), respectively. During the subsequent off-season, the Mighty Ducks made a trade that paid major dividends in later years—the team sent a second-round draft pick to the Calgary Flames in exchange for goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere. The 2000–01 season saw Anaheim finish last in the Division with a 25–41–11–5 record (66 points). Late
