#10 Out of the press box, on the board – November 16

Julien Gauthier has finally cracked the lineup. He’s found a home on the kid line with Flilip Chytil, and fellow French Canadian, Alexis Lafrenière.

Playing in his fourth straight game for the first time all season, the 24 year old buried his first of the year on a great individual effort. Gauthier’s goal was not only skillful in his ability to steal the puck and score on the back hand, but it also was a game winner, and those are always exciting.

To make it even better, he did against his hometown team, the Montreal Canadiens.

This game winner was for sure a confidence booster for Gauthier. After being a healthy scratch for most of the year Gauthier has played in every game since November eighth. Gauthier clearly has chemistry with his line mates, and the kid line should be an exciting line to watch for the rest of the year.
