Gauthier Sidelined Tuesday with Illness, Joins Ducks' Injured Forwards

Cutter Gauthier (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Stars, a surprising absence given he logged 15:03 of ice time in the Anaheim Ducks' last game. The 21-year-old forward joins teammates Leo Carlsson (lower body) and Troy Terry (upper body) on the sidelines, significantly depleting the Ducks' forward depth. His unexpected setback adds to the team's current injury woes as they navigate a challenging phase of their season, impacting their ability to contend.
