A recent first-round pick by the Anaheim Ducks could be making his NHL debut relatively soon. According to Derek Lee of The Hockey News<\/a>, the Ducks are expected to recall forward Nathan Gaucher<\/a> from the AHL\u2019s San Diego Gulls, with an official announcement coming later.<\/p>\n

Gaucher, 22, has been playing in the Ducks organization for a few years now. Anaheim selected Gaucher with the 22nd overall pick of the 2022 NHL Draft after he scored 31 goals and 57 points in 66 games for the QMJHL\u2019s Qu\u00e9bec Remparts, with a +30 rating. The 2022-23 campaign was Gaucher\u2019s best at the major junior level, scoring 22 goals and 46 points in 44 games with a +35 rating, with another seven goals and 16 points in 18 postseason contests en route to a Memorial Cup title.<\/p>\n

Since then, he has played professionally in the Ducks\u2019 organization, exclusively for the Gulls. Unfortunately, his development, primarily on the offensive side of the puck, has stagnated somewhat. Throughout his three years in the AHL, Gaucher has registered 30 goals and 70 points in 185 games, but has set a new career-high this season.<\/p>\n

Given his production in San Diego, it\u2019s somewhat difficult to project Gaucher\u2019s long-term path in the NHL. He\u2019s an aggressive forechecker who isn\u2019t afraid of physicality, with the vision to find his teammates relatively effortlessly. A good comparison would be Martin Pospisil<\/a> of the Calgary Flames, a strong player who excels at moving the puck in a bottom-six role while averaging over three hits per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A recent first-round pick by the Anaheim Ducks could be making his NHL debut relatively soon.
