Nathan Gaucher - NHL News & Rumors

Two goals in AHL win Gaucher scored twice in AHL San Diego's 5-4 shootout win over Colorado on Friday.

Impact Gaucher has done little in the AHL this season with seven points (three goals, four assists) over 27 games. He had just 19 points in 56 regular-season outings last year, so it's not a great sign that the 22-year-old's offense continues to trend down. At this rate, it's fair to question if he'll ever get an extended look with the Ducks, who have plenty of prospects in the pipeline.

Sent down Thursday Gaucher (lower body) was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

Impact Gaucher was bothered by a minor injury that kept him from suiting up Wednesday versus the Sharks. Since he was sent down again, that injury is no longer a concern. The 21-year-old center will begin the year with the Gulls and figures to spend most of the campaign in the minors.

Dealing with LBI Gaucher (lower body) is not playing in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Sharks.

Impact Gaucher was initially expected to play after being recalled from AHL San Diego earlier in the day, but his injury will prevent that. Olen Zellweger entered the lineup for Gaucher, who could end up on injured reserve if his injury isn't healed by Opening Night.

Summoned Wednesday Gaucher was promoted from AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

Impact Gaucher is presumably with the team to play in Wednesday's preseason game against San Jose. The 21-year-old is still expected to start the upcoming campaign with San Diego.

Assigned to AHL Gaucher has been assigned to AHL San Diego, the Ducks announced Sunday.

Impact Gaucher spent the offseason working back from a lengthy shoulder injury but faced minimal restrictions in training camp. He's been assigned to San Diego, as expected, but the good news is that he's healthy again. The 21-year-old played the entirety of the healthy portion of his season last year with San Diego, notching 19 points in 56 games.

Practicing Thursday Gaucher (shoulder) was on the ice with the second group as part of Thursday's training camp session, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gaucher was hurt back in March but looks poised to return to action heading into the upcoming campaign. The 21-year-old center will need to impress at camp if he is going to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster. Given his presence with the second group, he most likely will start the year with AHL San Diego, where he played in 56 games last year while notching eight goals and 11 helpers.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Facing extended absence Gaucher is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 months after undergoing shoulder surgery, AHL San Diego announced Thursday.

Impact As long as Gaucher's recovery timeline doesn't linger into the six-month time frame, he should be ready for the start of the Ducks' training camp in the fall. Selected by the organization with the 22nd overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old center has struggled to produce in the minors, tallying just 19 points in 56 games for AHL San Diego this year. Between the injury recovery and limited offensive productivity, Gaucher should probably be considered a long shot to make the Opening Night roster for the 2025-26 campaign.

Ends scoring slump Gaucher notched one goal and one assist in Wednesday's 4-1 win over AHL Abbotsford.

Impact Gaucher didn't have a point in seven straight outings before Wednesday's breakout performance. Lengthy scoring droughts have plagued his second AHL season. Gaucher has four goals, 10 points and 66 PIM through 45 appearances in 2024-25. He had only 10 goals and 15 helpers in 72 outings for Anaheim's minor-league affiliate in San Diego during the 2023-24 campaign. Still, Gaucher is known more for his physical play than his scoring ability.

Assigned to AHL Gaucher was assigned to AHL San Diego on Friday.

Impact Gaucher dealt with a lower-body injury to begin training camp and the preseason slate, but he played in Wednesday's exhibition matchup against Utah. He'll head to the Gulls for a second consecutive season after logging 10 goals and 25 points over 72 appearances with the club last year. The 20-year-old was the No. 22 overall pick in last year's draft and should factor into the team's long-term plans, but it's unclear whether he'll make his NHL debut this season.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recovers from lower-body injury Gaucher (lower body) is expected to play in Wednesday's exhibition contest against Utah, according to Eric Stephens of The Athletic.

Impact Gaucher recorded 10 goals, 25 points and 68 PIM in 72 appearances with AHL San Diego in 2023-24. The 20-year-old should factor into Anaheim's long-term plans after being selected with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, but he's projected to begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Gaucher (lower body) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gaucher has been limited by a lower-body injury to begin training camp and the preseason slate. His next chance to play is Thursday in a rematch with the Sharks.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body injury Gaucher has a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day ahead of training camp.

Impact Gaucher will not be ready for the first on-ice sessions, but it doesn't appear to be considered a serious concern yet. The 20-year-old center had 25 points in 72 games with AHL San Diego last year and will likely return to the minor-league club to begin 2024-25.
