Overview
- The Ducks announced Saturday that Gauthier left the game in Calgary after roughly two minutes of play with an upper-body injury and did not return.
- Head coach Joel Quenneville said Gauthier and teammate Ryan Poehling will be evaluated back in Anaheim and the club expected clearer updates after Monday's practice.
- Gauthier signed a six-year, $81 million extension in September following a 41-goal breakout last season, so any missed time would be a notable loss to Anaheim's offense.
- This injury follows recent trouble for Gauthier, who left a March 30 game with an upper-body issue and suffered a fractured vertebra late last season, raising short-term availability concerns.
- The Ducks won 4-2 in Calgary despite the exits, and the team will make lineup and replacement decisions for Tuesday's home game once medical checks are complete.
