Rotowire

Gauthier scored early in the third period on a feed from Leo Carlsson. That pair of forwards could open the season in a top-line role, though it's no guarantee they both stay there if they slump. Gauthier had an assist in his NHL debut in April, and a strong campaign in 2024-25 could earn him some attention in the Calder Trophy voting.
Gauthier notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Gauthier took a pass from Leo Carlsson and set up Jackson LaCombe on the game-winning tally. It was a glimpse into the future for the Ducks, with Gauthier joining a growing talent pool after a surprise midseason trade from the Flyers.

Gauthier was traded from Philadelphia to the Ducks in exchange for Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round draft pick Monday.

Gauthier reportedly did not want to play for the Flyers, which likely put the pressure on Philadelphia to make a move, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
