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

Rotowire
Gauthier scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose.
Gauthier opened the scoring Tuesday, firing a wrister past Kaapo Kahkonen to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead midway through the first period.

He tallied five goals and nine points in 24 games between the Senators and Rangers last season.

Gauthier had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 win over Florida on Saturday.
He scored early in the third off a face-off win by Bo Horvat. He wired it from the top of the right circle. It was Gauthier's first goal in six games as an Islander. The 26-year-old's best season came in 2022-23 with the Rangers when he provided six goals and three assists in 40 contests. Nice nice, but don't mistake him for a fantasy play.
