Gauthier scored three goals on six shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Gauthier's first goal and his helper came on the power play. The 22-year-old has had a good month already with 11 goals and two helpers over five contests since the calendar flipped to November. On the year, he's at 15 goals, seven assists, 14 power-play points, 72 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 17 appearances. As much fun as this scoring surge is, not even an elite scorer like Gauthier will be able to sustain it all year.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Adds helper in return
Rotowire
Gauthier notched an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
Gauthier has seen most of his time on the wing in the NHL, but he got a look at center Friday while Mikael Granlund (upper body) is sidelined. While Gauthier had an assist, he also won just four of 20 faceoffs, which isn't a great sign for him sticking in the middle for an extended stretch. That said, the Ducks got mostly dominated at the dot as a whole Friday. Gauthier has five points, 21 shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating over six appearances this season.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Back in action versus Bruins
Rotowire
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.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Still sidelined Tuesday
Rotowire
Gauthier (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Calgary on Tuesday, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Gauthier continues to be classified as day-to-day, so it's possible he'll be ready to face the Bruins on Friday. With the 22-year-old winger on the shelf, Roger McQueen will make his NHL debut against the Flames. For his part, Gauthier is currently mired in a three-game pointless streak and will no doubt be eager to score whenever he's cleared to return.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Participates in drills at practice
Rotowire
Gauthier (upper body) participated in drills to begin Monday's practice session but left before line rushes and team drills, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Gauthier exited Saturday's game against the Flames in the first period due to an upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Tuesday's rematch against Calgary. It was encouraging to see him do some work at practice Monday, though a better idea of his status for Tuesday's game could be revealed based on his participation in the team's morning skate. If Gauthier is unavailable, A.J. Greer and Nikita Klepov are candidates to see increased roles.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Leaves Saturday's game
Rotowire
Gauthier (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Flames.
Gauthier was injured in the first period and ultimately ruled out for the game during the second frame. The 22-year-old's potential absence would be a big one, as he's earned four points over five games to start the season. If Gauthier is out for any stretch of time, A.J. Greer or Nikita Klepov could get chances to fill his top-six role.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Inks six-year deal
Rotowire
Gauthier signed a six-year, $81 million contract with the Ducks on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Gauthier is under contract just in time for training camp. The 22-year-old winger opted not to sign for maximum term, so he will be eligible for free agency while still in his prime at 28 years old. Gauthier can be safely penciled in as a top-six regular for the Ducks. He scored 41 goals and added 28 assists over 76 regular-season contests last year, and he could still find another level on offense as he continues to develop.
