EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau assisted on goals by Adam Larsson and Shane Wright, with the latter's tally coming on the power play.

For the season, he's up to 17 points (three on the power play), 43 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 43 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau has his first multi-point effort as a member of the Kraken after setting up third-period tallies by Kaapo Kakko and Berkly Catton. The 32-year-old Gaudreau has been flexing his versatility lately, drawing some power-play time while playing on the right wing at even strength in a second-line role. He's up to 11 points, 30 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 28 appearances this season. Gaudreau has earned nine of his points since the start of December.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau snapped a four-game scoring skid with this tally, an empty-netter at the 17:25 mark of the third period. This was his fourth goal of the season, and while he holds a top-six role in the lineup, he isn't producing enough to warrant fantasy consideration in most formats.

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.

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.
