What happened: Cutter Gauthier sustained an upper-body injury against the Calgary Flames and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The Anaheim Ducks confirmed his early exit during the game.

Why it matters: Gauthier left the ice in the first period after recording just over two minutes of playing time. The departure interrupted the early-season progress for the forward who agreed to a six-year deal in September.

What to watch: Anaheim will evaluate the forward ahead of their next regular-season matchup.
