Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier made NHL history on Tuesday night, accomplishing a remarkable scoring feat during his team’s 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
The 22-year-old delivered another outstanding performance, scoring twice on the power play, once in the first period and again in the second. With those goals, Gauthier became the first player in NHL history to record multiple power-play goals in three consecutive games.
His historic night also included another hat trick, marking his second consecutive game with three goals. In doing so, Gauthier became the first player in Anaheim Ducks franchise history to record back-to-back hat tricks.

Gauthier’s recent production has been nothing short of spectacular. He has scored eight goals over his last three games and extended his point streak to five consecutive contests.
His achievement also puts him alongside a Ducks legend. Gauthier joins Paul Kariya, who accomplished the feat during the 2000-01 season, as the only players in Anaheim franchise history to record multiple goals of any kind in three straight games.
Following Tuesday’s victory, Gauthier expressed his surprise at being the first NHL player to accomplish the power-play milestone, while also acknowledging the significance of the moment.

“Kind of surprised some of those other legends before me haven’t done that with how good they were, and obviously a really special moment, but really happy we got the two wins and we can keep this thing going,” Gauthier said after the game.

Gauthier’s historic stretch comes during the first season of his lucrative six-year, $81 million contract with Anaheim. Signed in September, the deal carries an annual average value of $13.5 million, reflecting the organization’s confidence in the young forward’s ability to become a cornerstone of the franchise.

Meanwhile, the Ducks are beginning to build some momentum, having now won two consecutive games.
With Gauthier playing the best hockey of his young NHL career, Anaheim will look to extend its winning streak when it travels to face the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.
If Gauthier can maintain anything close to his current scoring pace, the Ducks could have a special offensive weapon leading their push forward.
