Gauthier was traded to the Blues from the Islanders on Tuesday in exchange for Matt Luff.

EDGE Analysis

Selected in the first round of the 2016 NHL Draft, Gauthier has struggled to live up to that hype. The 28-year-old winger has logged 181 regular-season games at the NHL level, notching 19 goals and 22 assists along the way. So far this season, Gauthier has failed to break into the NHL, playing exclusively with AHL Bridgeport while generating five goals and two assists in 14 games. He figures to report to AHL Springfield, where he will likely spend the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

Gauthier was put on waivers by the Islanders on Friday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier is expected to start 2025-26 in the minors. He had three goals and eight points in nine regular-season outings with AHL Bridgeport last year.

Gauthier signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier notched three goals and eight points over nine regular-season games with AHL Bridgeport in 2024-25. He made one NHL appearance last campaign, logging 7:42 of ice time and registering two hits against Montreal on Oct. 19. The 27-year-old forward has 19 goals and 41 points in 181 regular-season outings at the NHL level. However, he may spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.

Gauthier was moved to the waiver wire Sunday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier was held off the scoresheet in his season debut versus Montreal on Saturday, recording two hits in 7:42 of ice time. The 27-year-old forward could play for AHL Bridgeport if he doesn't get claimed by another team from waivers.

The Islanders placed Gauthier on waivers Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier has been a healthy scratch in three of the Islanders' last nine games and he was pointless in the other six contests. Gauthier should be sent to AHL Bridgeport if he passes through waivers. He will likely be replaced by Casey Cizikas (lower body) on the Isles' fourth line once Cizikas returns to action.

Gauthier scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

After assisting on Jean-Gabriel Pageau's first-period tally, Gauthier extended New York's lead to 3-0 midway through the third period before adding a second goal just 18 seconds later, burying a feed from Pageau on a rush. The three-point outburst snapped a seven-game scoring drought for Gauthier. The 26-year-old winger is now up to four goals and eight points through 16 games in a middle-six role with the Islanders.

Gauthier (undisclosed) is slated to be available for Saturday's game against Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier missed Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Washington because of the injury. He has two goals, five points and 29 hits in 14 outings this year. Although he's expected to be available, Oliver Wahlstrom is projected to remain in the lineup, which makes Gauthier a potential healthy scratch Saturday.

Gauthier (undisclosed) traveled with the Islanders to Washington, but he'll miss Wednesday's contest against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier joining the Islanders on their road trip keeps the door open to him potentially playing Saturday in Carolina. He has two goals and five points in 14 contests this season. Although Gauthier is out Wednesday, the Islanders are getting Oliver Wahlstrom (illness) back against the Capitals.

Gauthier (undisclosed) sustained an injury in the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was no update on Gauthier's status after the game, leaving him questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Capitals. The 26-year-old winger has five points over 14 contests this season. If he can't play Wednesday, Oliver Wahlstrom would likely enter the lineup.

Gauthier scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Gauthier opened the scoring Tuesday, firing a wrister past Kaapo Kahkonen to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead midway through the first period. The 26-year-old Gauthier now has two goals and an assist in his last two contests and four points (two goals, two assists) overall through his first seven games with the Islanders. While Gauthier still doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration, he could work his way into a top-six role on an Islanders' team ranked 27th in the league with 2.80 goals per game. He tallied five goals and nine points in 24 games between the Senators and Rangers last season.
