Gauthier strikes again to help the Ducks beat the Oilers, 5-4

Abstract editorial illustration

Cutter Gauthier made history for the Anaheim Ducks, becoming the first player in the team's history to score nine goals in four consecutive games. This remarkable feat propelled the Ducks to a 5-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Gauthier's impressive performance, which included an assist, marked him as the first Anaheim player to achieve this milestone.

His hat tricks in the previous two games complemented his latest goal to reach the nine-goal mark. This achievement ties Gauthier with Dave Andreychuk in 1992 and Teemu Selanne in 2008, who were the only other NHL players to accomplish this feat. The Ducks' victory extended their winning streak to three games, improving their record to 8-7-1.

Connor McDavid led the Oilers with three goals and three assists, extending his season-opening points and assists streak to 17 games, tying him for the fourth-longest points streak to start a season in NHL history.
