Frédérik Gauthier (born April 26, 1995) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Maple Leafs in the 1st round (21st overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Gauthier played major junior hockey with Rimouski Océanic in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League after he was originally selected 40th overall in the 2011 QMJHL Entry Draft. He was a top prospect who was ranked number eight on the NHL Central Scouting Bureau's final ranking of North American skaters.[1] He fulfilled the expectation to be a first round selection at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, when he was selected 21st overall by the Maple Leafs.[2][3]
Having returned to continue his junior career with Rimouski, Gauthier was signed during the 2013–14 season to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on November 28, 2013.[4]
Gauthier joined the Toronto Marlies for the 2015–16 season.
He made his NHL debut on March 19, 2016, in a game against the Buffalo Sabres.[5] He played seven games with the Maple Leafs before being sent back down to the AHL.
Gauthier was injured in the second-round of the 2017 Calder Cup playoffs against Syracuse Crunch. He required surgery to repair an avulsion of the hamstring, ending his season. Although the recovery time was 6 months, he was back to skating in less than three.[6]
On January 2, 2018, Gauthier was called up to play against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who beat the Leafs, 2-0. He was sent back down to the AHL on January 11, 2018, after playing 5 games in the NHL, so he could play hockey while the Leafs were on a bye week.[7] Gauthier and fellow Marlies player Travis Dermott were recalled on January 15.[8] However, after playing a total of nine games in the NHL, and scoring one goal, Gauthier was loaned back to the Marlies on January 23, 2018.[9] He re-signed a two year, two way contract with the Leafs on July 11.[10]
