Gauthier scored two goals in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier found the back of the net twice in the third period, netting a snap shot at the 1:01 mark and later closing out the scoring with an empty-netter with 36 seconds left. The 22-year-old winger snapped a four-game scoreless skid with this two-goal performance, and he continues to have a career year. After posting 44 points in 82 regular-season games in 2024-25, he's now at 42 points (22 goals, 20 assists) in only 48 contests. Barring an injury, he's set to set a new career-best mark in scoring and in most offensive categories.

Gauthier (illness) will be in action versus Los Angeles on Friday, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier will return after a one-game absence due to his illness and figures to slot into a third-line role for the Ducks. While the 21-year-old winger has generated 36 shots over his last nine outings, he has found the back of the net only twice. With Chris Kreider (illness) in doubt Friday, Gauthier could slide into the open spot on the top power play.

Gauthier (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier joins Leo Carlsson (lower body) and Troy Terry (upper body) among the Ducks' injured forwards. The 21-year-old Gauthier's absence is a bit of a surprise after he logged 15:03 of ice time against the Sabres in Anaheim's last game.

Gauthier scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Playing against the team that drafted him, Gauthier made an early impact with a goal at 4:15 of the first period. However, former Duck Trevor Zegras stole the show after that to set the Flyers on the path to victory. Many in Philadelphia likely envisioned seeing Gauthier become a 20-goal scorer in the city when he was selected fifth overall in 2022, and in a way, that happened -- his tally Tuesday gave him 20 goals and 40 points in 43 appearances. The 21-year-old has added 165 shots on net, 29 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating in a fantastic second NHL campaign.

Gauthier scored a goal on nine shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier ended a five-game slide with his third multi-point effort in December. The 21-year-old has slumped a bit this month, though he was likely playing a bit above his abilities earlier in the year. Even with the downturn on offense, he's still at 19 goals, 38 points, 153 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-11 rating over 39 appearances. He's six points away from matching his 82-game total from his 2024-25 rookie campaign.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third multi-goal performance of the season for Gauthier, and through 33 games the 21-year-old winger has 18 goals and 36 points as he steams toward a breakout campaign.

Gauthier notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier has remained productive, getting on the scoresheet in eight of his last 11 games. He has four goals and eight helpers in that span. The winger is up to 16 goals, 33 points (seven on the power play), 115 shots on net and a plus-17 rating through 29 appearances. As long as he stays in a top-six role, Gauthier figures to be one of the Ducks' most consistent forwards.

Gauthier scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier entered Friday with no points over his last two outings, which was just his second multi-game drought of the season. The 21-year-old tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. He's enjoying a breakout campaign with 16 goals, 31 points, 115 shots on net, 21 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-16 rating through 28 appearances in a top-six role.

Gauthier recorded a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier was involved in two of the team's three goals in this loss Sunday, and the 21-year-old continues to play at a high level of late. Gauthier has posted three multi-point games in his last four contests and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last seven appearances, producing nine points (three goals, six assists) in that span.

Gauthier scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier has two goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The 21-year-old winger has logged multiple points in consecutive contests, and he has nine outings of at least two points this season. He's up to 14 goals, 28 points, 98 shots on net and a plus-14 rating through 23 appearances. The breakout season looks real -- Gauthier's shooting 14.3 percent, but his high shot volume should allow him to stay productive throughout the year.
