The 22-year-old forward will miss a third straight game on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators, but should return in one of Anaheim's following two games.

The Ducks acquired Cutter Gauthier from the Flyers on Monday in exchange for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round draft pick.

It was a shocking, blockbuster trade between the Flyers and Ducks on Monday, as Philadelphia opted to move on from their fifth-overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for the sixth-overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Jamie Drysdale, and a second-round draft pick. While Drysdale already has parts of four NHL seasons under his belt, Gauthier is still playing with Boston College in the NCAA, where he's racked up 13 goals and ten assists in 17 games this season.
