Cutter Gauthier Records Back-to-Back Hat Tricks as Ducks' Offense Heats Up

The run features multiple power-play goals in three straight games, lifting Anaheim to roughly a .500 record and giving the club short-term momentum.

Overview

  • Gauthier scored hat tricks in consecutive games, becoming the first player in Anaheim Ducks franchise history to do so.
  • The Ducks say Gauthier is the first NHL player to record multiple power-play goals in three straight games, a mark widely reported after his latest multi-goal night.
  • His hot streak has produced eight goals in three games and extended a five-game point streak, bringing his 2026–27 totals to 10 goals and five assists.
  • Anaheim improved to about 7-7-1 with the recent wins and will travel to Edmonton next as observers test whether Gauthier’s scoring run can be sustained.
  • Gauthier, 22, signed a six-year, $81 million extension in September and his scoring surge is being framed as a potential catalyst for the Ducks’ push back toward playoff contention.
