Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier was ruled out of Monday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs because of an upper-body injury, the team announced.
Gauthier appeared to be hurt on a crosscheck from Toronto’s Jake McCabe in the opening period. Gauthier scored on the power play on the same sequence as McCabe’s hit but chatted with a trainer on the Ducks’ bench and went down the tunnel immediately after the celebration.
Injury Update: Cutter Gauthier has an upper-body injury and will not return to this game.

He played 3:20 before leaving, scoring on his only shot on net.
The 22-year-old has 38 goals and 37 assists for 75 points in 73 games so far this season, his third with the Ducks after coming over in a deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Anaheim will be back in action on Wednesday evening in San Jose against the Sharks.
