In the 2008–09 season, Ebbett began the year with affiliate, the Iowa Chops, after 28 games with the Chops he was recalled and scored his first NHL goal against the Philadelphia Flyers on January 2, 2009, his 26th birthday.[3] Ebbett established a scoring role with the Ducks scoring 32 points in only 48 games helping the Ducks to the second round and scoring his first Stanley Cup playoff goal in the upset of the San Jose Sharks on April 19, 2009.[4]

Ebbett played 2 games with the Ducks in 2009–10 before he was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Blackhawks on October 17, 2009.[5] Unable to find a role within the Blackhawks roster Ebbett was again waived after 10 games and acquired by the Minnesota Wild on November 21, 2009.[6] He settled quickly scoring a goal in his first game with the Wild against the Boston Bruins on November 25, 2009.[7] Ebbett remained with Minnesota and completed the season posting 8 goals for 14 points in 49 games.

As an impending free agent following the 2014–15 season with the Penguins, Ebbett signed his first contract abroad in agreeing to a two-year contract with Swiss club, SC Bern of the National League A (NLA) on June 24, 2015.[12] He helped Bern win the 2016 Swiss championship, scoring five goals and ten assists in 14 playoff contests.
