Flyers' Tortorella Dismisses Cutter Gauthier's Anticipation for Ducks Matchup
Former Flyers prospect Cutter Gauthier looks forward to facing his old team, but head coach John Tortorella says he has no interest in the narrative.
- Cutter Gauthier, the Flyers' 2022 first-round pick, was traded to the Anaheim Ducks last January after refusing to play for Philadelphia.
- Gauthier expressed excitement about Saturday's game, saying it was 'circled on his calendar' due to the circumstances of his departure.
- Flyers coach John Tortorella dismissed questions about Gauthier, stating, 'I don't give a s--- what he says,' and declined to discuss the situation further.
- The trade brought the Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round draft pick, though both players have had mixed performances this season.
- The Flyers and Ducks, both struggling in their divisions, face off in a matchup drawing attention due to the lingering tension between Gauthier and his former team.
