Gaudreau scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau scored the game-tying goal in the second period, shooting through a Dominik Simon screen to beat Thatcher Demko. The 27-year-old Gaudreau added the assist in the dying seconds of the period, sending a cross-ice pass for Elias Lindholm to slam home. Gaudreau has posted four points (three on the power play) through three contests already this year -- he's in form and rewarding fantasy managers early on for their faith in his bounce-back potential.

Gaudreau recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau had a shot turned aside by Braden Holtby on a third-period power play, but it fell for Matthew Tkachuk, who tucked it in at the side of the net. That's points in both games to start the year for Gaudreau, who can be notoriously streaky on offense. He's up to six shots to go with his two points, which have both come on the power play. Gaudreau and center Sean Monahan are still working on chemistry with a new right wing -- Josh Leivo played in that role Saturday but wasn't able to do much in a game dominated by special teams.

Gaudreau scored a goal on three shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau found the net from a sharp angle at the bottom of the left faceoff circle to give the Flames a 2-1 lead midway through the opening period. It's a good sign to see the 27-year old producing right out of the chute after he struggled through an 18-goal, 40-assist campaign in 2019-20. His 18 goals were half of the 36 he had collected one year prior, and his 58 points were a steep drop from the career-high 99 he had the previous season.

Gaudreau had 18 goals and 58 points in 70 regular-season games and another seven points in 10 playoff outings in 2019-20.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau's offense dropped off a cliff in 2019-20 after a 36-goal, 99-point 2018-19 campaign. However, Gaudreau showed promise with eight goals and 19 helpers in 28 contests between New Year's Day and the league's pause for the coronavirus outbreak. The 27-year-old winger is capable of playing near a point-per-game pace and will look to regain that form next season.

Gaudreau scored a power-play goal on five shots and added three hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Stars in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau scored the second of the Flames' three goals in a span of 2:52 during the first period. He collected four goals and three helpers in 10 games during the playoffs, with six of his seven points coming with a man advantage.

Gaudreau scored a goal and an assist Sunday, both on the power play, during the Flames' 5-4 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 4 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
He potted Calgary's first goal of the afternoon early in the second period, then helped set up Sam Bennett for the team's second just over two minutes later. Gaudreau has had an inconsistent playoff so far -- he has yet to find the scoresheet in consecutive games -- but overall he has three goals and six points through eight games, and all but one goal have come with the man advantage.

Gaudreau picked up a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau had the secondary helper on Sam Bennett's third-period tally. With two goals, two helpers and 14 shots in six games, Gaudreau has produced decently in the playoffs. If Matthew Tkachuk (undisclosed) misses time, the 27-year-old Gaudreau will need to have a bigger impact on the scoresheet to keep the Flames afloat.

Gaudreau collected a goal and an assist with five shots in a 6-2 win over Winnipeg on Tuesday in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudreau rounded out the scoring in Calgary's win when he potted an empty-netter with 2:19 left to play. He also drew an assist on Sean Monahan's power-play goal in the second period that held up as the game-winner. Gaudreau has two goals and three points in the series following a disappointing regular season by his standards.

Gaudreau netted a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
The second-period tally was Gaudreau's first postseason goal in his last 10 playoff games, a drought stretching back to 2015. The diminutive winger had picked up steam before the league was put on pause, recording five goals and 13 assists in the last 18 games of the regular season. Gaudreau will need to be in peak scoring form if the Flames are to last in the playoffs.

Gaudreau has 18 goals, 58 points and a minus-10 rating in 70 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
If the NHL doesn't finish the 2019-20 regular season, Gaudreau's 58 points will be the lowest he's produced in his NHL career. This comes on the heels of a stellar 99-point campaign in 2018-19. Gaudreau will be a popular bounce-back pick heading into next season.
