Randy Carlyle coached the Anaheim Ducks to their only Stanley Cup over six years ago.

"It seems like a long time ago because it was two years ago, but it's the first time you coach against your former team so it's always special," Carlyle told ESPN. "After that, again, my worries are always about my team playing at a higher level."

The Ducks are finding inspiration from their 7-1-1 start from last season, which ended with them winning the Pacific Division for the first time since doing it under Carlyle in 2006-07.

"I think we learned a lot last year in that shortened season," captain Ryan Getzlaf said. "We knew that we had to bring it right away, or otherwise we were going to be behind the 8-ball. So we're preparing the same way, and we're starting the right way."

The Ducks are coming off a game in which they scored five in a row to rally for a 6-3 victory against the Dallas Stars.

"This team never stopped believing we could come back, even last year," Ducks Forward Teemu Selanne, who has one goal in each of the last three games, said. "That's the one strength we have right now.
