Winnipeg Jets fans won't like this stat.

In a four-game sweep in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Anaheim Ducks made history by holding a lead for a mere 38:26 over the course of the 245:12 of play over the course of the series.

This adds credence to head coach Bruce Boudreau's surprise over the fact the series didn't go six or seven games, and suggests the Ducks would be wise not to rest on their laurels as they prepare for round two.
