Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier left Monday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the opening period and did not return.
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.
