Gauthier (upper body) will be in the lineup to face Boston on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Gauthier will return to action after just one game on the shelf due to his upper-body problem. The 22-year-old winger is currently stuck in a three-game pointless streak, but he has registered eight shots on net over the stretch. In addition to taking back his top-six role, the Swede should also link up with the No. 1 power-play unit, where he has scored three of his four points this year.
