Gaudreau scored a goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau has scored in consecutive games and has earned six of his eight points this season over 11 outings in December. The 32-year-old is getting a chance in a top-six role, and the extra ice time has suited him well even though he's playing on the wing rather than at center. He's up to three goals, five assists, 22 shots on net, 16 blocks and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances.

Gaudreau scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau netted his second goal of the season to open the scoring at 4:49 of the second period. The 32-year-old forward has been playing right wing on a line with Chandler Stephenson and Eeli Tolvanen lately, which has been Seattle's best trio in recent games. Gaudreau is up to seven points, 20 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 21 appearances and will be relied on as a two-way forward with a steady spot in the lineup.

Gaudreau scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau picked off a pass and struck for a goal late in the first period. He cut the Kraken's deficit to 3-2 at the time, but the Oilers bounced back in the middle frame. This was Gaudreau's first goal in a Kraken uniform, and he's added two assists, 10 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances, primarily in a bottom-six capacity.

Gaudreau notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau was able to get a little revenge on a former team, setting up Brandon Montour's game-winning tally in overtime. This was Gaudreau's first point in four games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him 13 contests. The center has two assists, seven shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances this season. He probably won't be a big factor in fantasy while playing in a bottom-six role.

EDGE Analysis

Seattle moved Kaapo Kakko (lower body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Despite being deemed a game-time decision, Gadreau should return from a 13-game absence against San Jose on Saturday. He has registered one assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in four outings this season.

Gaudreau will be out of action four to six weeks with an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau was placed on injured reserve by Seattle on Friday after suffering the injury against the Senators on Thursday. John Hayden was brought up in a corresponding move and could replace Gaudreau in the lineup if Berkly Catton doesn't receive a chance to make his NHL debut.

Gaudreau (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau was dealt to Seattle in the summer after spending four seasons with the Wild. Gaudreau has one assist in four games this season. The Kraken recalled John Hayden from AHL Coachella Valley in a corresponding move.

Gaudreau sustained an undisclosed injury and won't return to Thursday's game in Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau had a minus-1 rating in 8:02 of ice time before he exited the game against the Senators. He has an assist in four outings this year, including Thursday's tilt. If Gaudreau can't play Saturday in Toronto, then Berkly Catton will probably make his NHL debut.

Gaudreau notched an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Gaudreau's first point in three games with the Kraken. The 32-year-old center, acquired via trade from the Wild in June, has occupied a fourth-line role on paper while averaging 14:29 of ice time so far. He has reached the 30-point mark in three of the last four seasons and could ultimately function in a similar shutdown role, like how the Kraken deployed Yanni Gourde in previous years.

Gaudreau was dealt to Seattle from Minnesota on Thursday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau registered 18 goals, 19 assists and 110 shots on goal across 82 regular-season games for the Wild in 2024-25. The 32-year-old led Minnesota in faceoff draws with 1,097, winning 529 (48.2 winning percentage). He will center one of the bottom two lines with the Kraken, likely the fourth unit, with Matty Beniers, Chandler Stephenson and Shane Wright ahead of him on the depth chart.
