Nathan Gaucher - NHL News & Rumors

Placed on waivers Gaucher was placed on waivers by the Ducks on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Gaucher got his first taste of NHL action during the 2025-26 campaign by making three regular-season appearances with Anaheim, and he was held scoreless with six hits and a blocked shot while averaging 8:01 of ice time. Across 62 regular-season outings with AHL San Diego last year, he logged 15 goals, 14 assists and 47 PIM, and he'll presumably head back to the minors if he clears waivers.

Tallies twice in AHL win Gaucher scored two goals in AHL San Diego's 5-2 win over San Jose on Tuesday.

Impact Gaucher recently completed a stint in the NHL, where he made three appearances and added six hits and two shots on net. He has 14 goals, 28 points and a plus-4 rating over 58 appearances in the AHL this season. He's logged three straight multi-point efforts around his call-up and should remain productive in the AHL.

Returned to AHL Gaucher was assigned to AHL San Diego on Monday.

Impact Gaucher made his NHL debut against San Jose on Wednesday and played in Anaheim's last three games. He didn't earn a point with the big club while providing two shots on goal, six hits and one blocked shot. Gaucher has 12 goals and 14 assists in 57 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Back in NHL Gaucher was summoned from AHL San Diego on Sunday.

Impact Gaucher hasn't played for the Ducks yet this season, but he will be an option to make his NHL debut in Monday's matchup against Toronto. He has 12 goals and 26 points in 57 AHL appearances this season.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to AHL Gaucher was assigned to AHL San Diego on Saturday.

Impact Gaucher was a healthy scratch in Anaheim's last two games, including Saturday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton, before being returned to the minors. He has 12 goals and 26 points in 57 AHL appearances this season.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from AHL Gaucher was recalled from AHL San Diego on Wednesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gaucher has 26 points in 57 contests for the Gulls this season. The 22-year-old appears to be up as injury insurance in case Jansen Harkins (upper body) can't play Thursday versus the Flames.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Hat trick for Gulls Gaucher scored three goals in AHL San Diego's 5-4 win over Calgary on Sunday.

Impact With the hat trick, Gaucher has a career-best 26 points in 57 contests. The 22-year-old forward has yet to take a significant step up toward being a potential NHL contributor after being a first-round pick in 2022. If he gets a look with the Ducks at some point, he would likely fill a bottom-six role with time on the penalty kill.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
