According to a team announcement<\/a>, the Anaheim Ducks have reassigned forward Nathan Gaucher<\/a> to the AHL\u2019s San Diego Gulls. That leaves the Ducks with 11 healthy forwards for tomorrow\u2019s contest against the Nashville Predators.<\/p>\n

Consequently, that means another roster move is expected. Anaheim will recall Gaucher for tomorrow\u2019s contest, recall someone else, or welcome back Ross Johnston<\/a>. Johnston was given a three-to-four week recovery timeline when he was initially injured on March 18th. If he enjoys the early end of that recovery timeline, that would place his return on April 8th, just two days away.<\/p>\n

Still, if Johnston isn\u2019t available, the Ducks could recall Gaucher tomorrow on an emergency basis relatively easily. An emergency recall means that Gaucher won\u2019t have to play in AHL San Diego\u2019s game tomorrow to be eligible for recall.<\/p>\n

Gaucher, 22, has been called up two separate times over the last little while. The former 22nd overall pick of the 2022 NHL Draft made his debut during those recalls, but is still looking for his first point. Regardless, he\u2019s made his physical presence known early, collecting six hits in three games.<\/p>\n

Although he may be on the playoff roster, it\u2019s unlikely that Gaucher will get too much postseason playing time unless the team runs into more injuries. Jansen Harkins<\/a> and Johnston are expected to return before the postseason, while Cutter Gauthier<\/a> is believed to be day-to-day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a team announcement, the Anaheim Ducks have reassigned forward Nathan Gaucher to the AHL\u2019s San Diego…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[2210,233,5292,1739,5,23020,4,405],"class_list":{"0":"post-544812","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anaheim-ducks","8":"tag-anaheim","9":"tag-anaheim-ducks","10":"tag-anaheimducks","11":"tag-ducks","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-nathan-gaucher","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-transactions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116361269415750974","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
