"Beckett Sennecke's new NHL career is quickly shifting from "surprise pick" to "rookie sensation." The Canadian forward, who was not on the Anaheim Ducks' roster for the 2024-25 season, is now establishing himself as the league's top first-year player, leading all rookies in goals and total points. Before the season, the Ducks placed Sennecke on the second line along with Mason McTavish and Cutter Gauthier, giving him an opportunity to succeed and maintain his position in the roster, and in the NHL."
"As of December 15, 2025, with 33 games played, Sennecke leads the rookie scoring race with 27 points. A tie for first in goals with 10, sharing the top spot with Kapanen of the Canadiens, and second for assists with 17. The most goals he's scored in a game so far is 2 against the Winnipeg Jets, also carrying 2 points with him after."
"Last December 9, 2025, Sennecke's skills were on full display at the Ducks' game against the Penguins with the clock winding down in the third period, Sennecke delivered a game-tying goal with just 0.1 seconds left, forcing overtime. The Ducks successfully secured the win in the shootout with 4-3. Beckett Sennecke, who was named the Second Star of the night, admitted he wasn't paying attention to the frantic final moments."
