In his first season with Anaheim, Pronger leads the Ducks with a plus-26 rating and is fourth in team scoring this season with 53 points (11 goals, 42 assists) in 58 games.

Pronger, who joined the Ducks in an off-season trade from Edmonton, also ranks second in ice time with an average of 27 minutes and 13 seconds.

Pronger also missed nine games in January with a broken left foot.
