During the 2016–17 season, Cogliano was again paired with Kesler and Silfverberg to lead the team's "shutdown" line. On March 22, 2017, Cogliano played in his 777th consecutive hockey game, surpassing Craig Ramsay for the fourth-longest playing streak in NHL history. He again helped lead the Ducks to a playoff contention, playing in all 17 games against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Nashville Predators. At the end of the season, Cogliano was nominated for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for the fourth time in his career. The award eventually went to Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson.
