Gaudreau notched two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau didn't record any points in his first eight contests this season, but he snapped that drought in spectacular fashion Tuesday by playing a role in three of the team's five goals. The 31-year-old forward scored in the first and second periods before getting an assist in Kirill Kaprizov's empty-netter in the final seconds. As a middle-six forward who often sees time in the power play, Gaudreau was bound to end this drought sooner rather than later, though fantasy managers would probably want to see more consistency out of Gaudreau before trusting him again in most formats.
