ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Late in the 17th game of his NHL career, Cutter Gauthier finally scored a goal for the Anaheim Ducks. Gauthier’s teammates and coaches don’t expect he’ll have to wait so long for the second goal in what’s already been a tumultuous year for a gifted rookie learning all about the multifold challenges of pro hockey.

Cutter Gauthier scored his first NHL goal to put the Ducks ahead with 8:51 to play, and Anaheim rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 6-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

The Detroit Red Wings had the game in hand, and then let it get out of hand. Their constant trips to the penalty box past the midway point Friday at Honda Center let the Anaheim Ducks gain momentum and erase the Wings' two-goal lead.
