Gauthier logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Gauthier has three helpers over his last seven outings. His ice time has been in decline lately, and he reached a new low with just 9:30 in Sunday's contest. The winger has five assists, 35 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances. It's unclear if the Ducks will prioritize Gauthier's confidence or getting him NHL experience -- if it's the former, he could be a candidate for a stint in the AHL at some point.

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 may still need a taste of the AHL in 2024-25, but he'll likely be given every opportunity to win an NHL job in training camp.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Flipped to Ducks
Rotowire
Gauthier was traded from Philadelphia to the Ducks in exchange for Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round draft pick Monday.
Gauthier is one of the top prospects in the league after being selected fifth overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft by the Flyers. The 19-year-old has 29 goals and 60 points in 49 career games with Boston College. He's also added 22 points across 14 total games in his last two World Juniors appearances. 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.
