SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS
The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
Gauthier arrives as a pure goal-scoring threat, a potent left shot who proved his nose for the net with a 0.36 G/game rate in college. His 56 career goals suggest an offensive instinct that Anaheim hopes will translate into game-breaking moments.
RIGHT NOW · LAST 5 GAMES
Gauthier shows flashes of scoring with two goals recently, but a lack of consistent point production across the last five games suggests he's more of a monitor than a must-watch. His recent minute totals are solid, indicating opportunity exists for him to break out of this quiet patch.
FORM OVER TIME · GAME BY GAME
Heat over time.
