Cutter Gauthier Opens Up About Playing Through Serious Injury

After the season ended, Cutter Gauthier shared details about the injury he suffered late in the regular season. The Ducks winger explained that he fractured his L1 and L2 vertebrae in his back, but somehow managed to come back earlier than doctors initially thought. 

Gauthier said the issue kept annoying him through the playoffs as well, although he also gave credit to Anaheim's medical staff for helping move the recovery along, faster than expected. At the same time, the Ducks confirmed Radko Gudas was nearing a return, so there was a chance he could have been back before the team's elimination wrapped things up.
