Gauthier hopes familiarity will help give him a shot at bigger role with Senators

“It’s a great feeling,” Gauthier said, speaking with reporters in Boston. “I’ve been wanting a fresh start, a good opportunity and I’m happy to get it here.”A former junior teammate of fellow Senators Thomas Chabot and Mathieu Joseph, he was originally drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the 2016 NHL draft .

“I’m a big guy that skates pretty fast, I shoot the puck hard, I finish my checks and a try to play a two-way game,” Gauthier said in offering up a scouting effort of his own style. “It facilitates things,” Gauthier said of his relationship with Joseph and Chabot. “I’ve known these guys for a long time. We see each other in the summer. It’s fun for me because they can show me around and introduce me to the guys more easily, so I’m happy about that.”
