Gaudreau (personal) took part in Monday's game-day skate and should be available versus the Kings, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau will be back in action following a two-game stint on the sidelines while attending to a personal matter. The 30-year-old forward has scored just once in his last 16 outings while chipping in two assists. Even with Mats Zuccarello (personal) still in doubt, Gaudreau is unlikely to see anything more than a bottom-six role for the Wild's last two games.

Gaudreau (personal) won't be in the lineup Friday versus Vegas, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau has five goals and 15 points in 65 outings in 2023-24. While the 30-year-old forward is drawing out of the lineup, Liam Ohgren is set to make his NHL debut against the Golden Knights. Gaudreau's status for Saturday's game in San Jose hasn't been decided yet, so the veteran should be regarded as day-to-day for now.

Gaudreau did not join the Wild for their trip to Vegas for personal reasons and is questionable to play Friday against the Golden Knights, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau has scored just one goal in his last 16 contests while registering 29 shots and two assists. Coach John Hynes told reporters there was still a chance that Gaudreau could rejoin the Wild ahead of Friday's tilt. If Gaudreau does miss out, Liam Ohgren figures to make his NHL debut in a third-line role while Ryan Hartman moves to the wing on the second line.

Gaudreau scored a goal in Sunday's 4-0 win against the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau's fifth tally of the season ended his 14-game goal drought. The 30-year-old forward hasn't been much of an offensive contributor in 2023-24, registering a mere 15 points across 64 appearances. Gaudreau only has two goals and four helpers over his past 39 outings.

Gaudreau scored for the first time in 2024 during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's goal was Gaudreau's first tally since Dec. 31. That's 23 straight games without a goal. To make matters worse, he only had two assists during that stretch. It's been a brutal run for Gaudreau, who scored 19 goals and 38 points in 82 games last season. Neither campaign is likely indicative of his goal-scoring ability. Last season, he was more than four percent over his career shoot percentage average, and this season, he's more than four percent under that mark. Whether or not he ultimately regresses to the mean, it's hard to start a player shooting 5.5 percent with only four goals through 49 contests.
