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

He's pushing for a 50-goal pace, and while that might be too much to expect this early in his career, 35-40 goals and 70-plus points are very much within reach given his current pace.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Two more points in win
Rotowire
Gauthier scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Gauthier stretched the Ducks' lead to 3-0 in the second period with his tally. He had previously set up Beckett Sennecke's opening goal in the first period.

Only Nathan MacKinnon (55) and Tage Thompson (54) have more shots on goal than Gauthier so far, and he's one of three players to rack up at least 40 shots in 11 games or fewer. That uptick in shot volume has led to production, and it makes Gauthier a potential superstar if he can keep it up.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Scores again in win
Rotowire
Gauthier scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.
Gauthier tied the game at 2-2 with his tally late in the first period. The 21-year-old winger needed 21 games to pot three goals last year, but he's done it in just three contests in 2025-26. That bodes well for him avoiding a sophomore slump, though the Ducks haven't faced any particularly tough defenses yet. Gauthier remains locked in as a top-six forward with power-play time, and all fantasy managers should at least be keeping an eye on his performance.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Pots pair in comeback win
Rotowire
Gauthier scored twice on nine shots and added two hits in Saturday's 7-6 overtime win over the Sharks.
Gauthier got the Ducks on the board with his first-period tally, and his goal midway through the third sparked the team's final comeback push. He's had a chance to reignite the chemistry he had with Mason McTavish late last year, as they've been put together on the second line. Gauthier put up 20 goals and 44 points in 82 games as a rookie in 2024-25, and he should be able to at least match that production this year as a full-time member of the Ducks' top six.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Gauthier scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.
Gauthier had a goal late in the second period to stretch the Ducks' lead to 4-1. The 21-year-old had gone three games without a point prior to Wednesday, which was his longest drought since late January.

The rookie winger is at 14 goals, 21 helpers, 154 shots on net, 60 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 71 appearances this season.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Bags apple in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Gauthier notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
With four helpers over his last two games, Gauthier is getting in touch with his playmaking side. The rookie winger is up to 12 goals, 17 assists, 129 shots on net, 48 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 61 outings this season. He'd need a big surge to close out the campaign to get into the Calder Trophy discussion, but it's been a respectable season for the 21-year-old as he looks to be part of the long-term solution when the Ducks exit their rebuilding phase.
