Another Gauthier hat trick, Ducks hot power play payback Canucks
Cutter Gauthier is the first player in Ducks history with consecutive hat tricks, and Anaheim has 10 power play goals in its last three games.
On Tuesday, the Anaheim Ducks overcame a poor performance from the previous week to secure a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena. Forward Cutter Gauthier became the first player in Ducks history to score a hat trick in consecutive games, as the Ducks' power play unit contributed to a hot offensive surge. With 10 power play goals in three games, the Ducks are now the 10th team in NHL history to achieve such a feat.
Gauthier, a 22-year-old player, has scored eight goals in his last three games and has been the only player under 23 to achieve this milestone since Teemu Selanne in 1993. The Ducks' power play has been instrumental in this success, with the team scoring 10 goals in three games. Jake Debrusk and Leo Carlsson each scored on power play opportunities, while Liam Ohgren and Laurent Brossoit scored on the Canucks' power play.
Gauthier's performance, along with the Ducks' strong power play, led to a hard-fought and ultimately successful road victory for the team.
