Gaudreau scored an empty-net goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau has the distinction of being the first player to take a penalty at the Islanders' new UBS Arena, as he was called for a slashing minor just 1:23 into the game. He made up for it later in the contest, assisting on an Andrew Mangiapane goal in the opening frame and adding the second of the Flames' two empty-netters to seal the victory. Gaudreau is up to seven goals, 14 assists, 59 shots on net, a plus-12 rating and four PIM in 18 contests.

Gaudreau had two goals and an assist in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The goals were his first in six games. Gaudreau took a stretch pass in the first period and broke in alone on Dustin Tokarski; he made no mistake. He also scored on the power play from the left corner of the net. Gaudreau's 19 points (six goals, 13 assists) in 17 games leads the Flames.

Gaudreau registered an assist and a career-high 10 shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau threw just about everything he had at Carter Hart, who stopped it all and limited the star winger to just a primary helper on Oliver Kylington's goal. The 28-year-old Gaudreau isn't known as a particularly high-volume shooter, so a repeat performance isn't likely any time soon. He has four goals, 12 helpers, 50 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 16 contests.

Gaudreau logged an assist and two PIM in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau set up Oliver Kylington for the Flames' lone goal in the third period. The 28-year-old Gaudreau has impressed this year with 15 points in 14 contests, though he's been held off the scoresheet in four of the last six games. He's added 37 shots on net and a plus-7 rating while working in a top-line role.

Gaudreau scored two goals, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau's first goal saw him clean up a loose puck at the net front in the second period. He dangled around a Rangers defender in the third for another goal before setting up Matthew Tkachuk's tally later in the frame. Gaudreau is up to four goals, 10 assists, 31 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 11 contests. Johnny Hockey has just one point, an assist, on the power play this year -- that suggests he may not even be at his full potential yet.

Gaudreau scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't looking good for Gaudreau to keep his point streak alive, but he received a long pass from Chris Tanev, floated into the zone and ripped a shot past Flyers goalie Carter Hart for the Flames' last goal in the win. The 28-year-old winger is up to two goals, nine helpers, 23 shots on net and a plus-7 rating in eight contests, and he was only held off the scoresheet in the season opener. This is the best Gaudreau has been since 2018-19 -- he's in a contract year and will certainly want to be at his best to cash in big.

Gaudreau had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 4-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first goal of the season. Gaudreau tipped a loose puck past the Pens' defender and then carried it through the neutral zone before ripping a far-side wrister from the left face-off circle. Gaudreau is riding a six-game, 10-point scoring streak and is flashing the kind of offensive burst that he did back in 2018-19 when he tallied 99 points. If that Johnny is back, you need to go get him.

Gaudreau recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau earned the secondary helper on Elias Lindholm's goal in the first period after setting up Rasmus Andersson for the initial shot. The 28-year-old Gaudreau is up to eight helpers in six games, with his assist Tuesday being his first power-play point of the year. After a couple of difficult years, the winger appears to be playing his best hockey again despite still searching for his first goal of the season.

Gaudreau registered an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau set up Chris Tanev's goal at 18:50 of the first period. After he was held off the scoresheet in the season opener versus the Oilers, Gaudreau has distributed seven helpers in the last four contests. The playmaking winger has added 13 shots on net and a plus-4 rating, and his chemistry with Elias Lindholm and Matthew Tkachuk should keep that trio locked in as the top line for much of the year.
