Following their loss to Columbus Saturday night, the Hurricanes have assigned Julien Gauthier to Charlotte.

The 21st overall pick in 2016, Gauthier made his NHL debut in Friday’s win over the New York Islanders and was again in the lineup Saturday.

Gauthier appeared in Charlotte’s first two games this season, lighting the lamp in each contest. This comes after a sophomore campaign that saw him notch a career-high 27 goals.
