Life moves fast in the wild world of minor league hockey. Just over a week ago, Taylor Gauthier was buried in Wheeling. It could have been easy to have been dismayed from that assignment and being so far down the depth chart - but a few NHL injuries forced AHL recalls, which was Gauthier’s ticket back to not only being in the AHL but being Wilkes-Barre’s top option in net in almost the blink of an eye.
Gauthier responded by earning a shutout in his first game back in the AHL, shelled in the next one, then the organization got a little healthier and now he’s back to Wheeling.
