Ducks List Cutter Gauthier Day-to-Day With Upper-Body Injury

The Ducks lose their leading goal scorer for at least Wednesday in San Jose.

Overview

  • Anaheim said Gauthier is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss Wednesday's game against the Sharks in San Jose.
  • The winger left Monday's loss to the Maple Leafs after scoring his 38th goal on a sequence that followed what appeared to be a cross-check from Toronto defenseman Jake McCabe.
  • ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported he did not travel to San Jose, and the team is hopeful he could return this weekend.
  • Gauthier leads the Ducks with 38 goals and 65 points in 73 games in his sophomore season, a pre‑age‑23 scoring pace in team lore topped only by Paul Kariya.
  • In a separate update, the Ducks said forward Jansen Harkins had successful hand surgery at Cedars-Sinai and is expected to be out about four weeks, thinning their forward depth.
