Frederick Gaudreau - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Nets PP goal in loss Gaudreau scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Gaudreau found the back of the net on the power play for the first time this season, but that would be all the offense the Wild would be able to muster in this contest. The goal also snapped a three-game pointless streak for Gaudreau, who's up to six goals and 15 total points across 29 appearances in 2024-25.

Scores in win over Vancouver Gaudreau scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Gaudreau went five straight games without scoring a goal between Nov. 23 and Nov. 30, but he snapped that drought with his first appearance of December. That said, he has only five goals and 14 points across 25 appearances this season, so he hasn't been productive or consistent enough to warrant being rostered in most formats. At least he's set to surpass the 15-point season he had in 2023-24, so the lone bright spot so far is that he's leaving a woeful season in the rearview.

Contributes helper in overtime win Gaudreau notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Gaudreau won a faceoff straight to Declan Chisholm, who fired in the opening goal at 18:57 of the first period. The helper snapped a four-game slump for Gaudreau, his longest since he opened the season with no points over eight games. The center is up to four goals, nine assists, 34 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 23 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a bottom-six role, though he's proven he can chip in depth scoring. Gaudreau had 44 points in 2021-22 and 38 points in 2022-23 before dipping to 15 points last season, so it appears he's correcting course in a positive manner this year.

Shines in Thursday's win Gaudreau scored two goals on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Gaudreau hadn't scored in his first nine games in November, but he had six assists in that span. The center played a starring role Thursday, tallying the Wild's last two goals of the contest, which included the game-winner. He's up to four tallies, 12 points, 29 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 19 appearances, and he's primarily played on the third line over the last month. He's just three points shy of matching his output from 2023-24.

Restarts point streak Gaudreau had an assist, one shot on net and two blocks in Thursday's 3-0 win over Montreal.

Impact Gaudreau, who saw a six-game point streak snapped last Sunday, worked hard to begin a new one. He fought in the corner for a loose puck in Montreal's end and eventually directed it to Kirill Kaprizov for an empty-net tally. The assist was Gaudreau's seventh in the last seven appearances.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Point streak at six games Gaudreau notched an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Gaudreau extended his point streak to six games when he helped out on a Marcus Foligno tally in the first period. Things are clicking for the Wild throughout the lineup, and Gaudreau's role as the third-line center has played a large part in that. The 31-year-old is up to two goals, six helpers, 19 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 14 appearances. He's likely to be a popular DFS pick for a three-game NHL slate Sunday as the Wild visit the Blackhawks.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps rolling with helper Gaudreau notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Gaudreau had one assist wiped off the board after an offside review went against the Wild. He still kept his career-best point streak alive at five games when he set up a Jonas Brodin tally in the third period. Gaudreau has two goals, five assists, 19 shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 13 contests this season. All seven of his points have come during the streak as he continues to make an impact from the third line.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Extends streak with helper Gaudreau provided an assist and won 11 of 16 faceoffs in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Gaudreau's point streak is up to four games (two goals, four assists), accounting for all of his offense this season. The 31-year-old center is also seeing regular time on the second power-play unit in addition to his third-line role at even strength. Gaudreau probably won't be able to sustain his hot streak in the long run, but he's worth a look as a streaming option in fantasy for the rest of the week as the Wild have easy matchups versus the Sharks, Ducks and Blackhawks on tap.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Notches assist Gaudreau recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Gaudreau has five points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense this season. He looks to be fitting in better on the third line after beginning the year as a fourth-liner. Gaudreau has added 16 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 11 contests. His all-around production isn't enough to help in standard fantasy formats, but he's worth a look in deeper leagues as long as he's racking up points.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Adds helper in win Gaudreau logged an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

Impact All four of Gaudreau's points this season have come in the last two games. The 31-year-old center has worked his way into a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit with his recent surge of offense. He's added 15 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 contests. Gaudreau will likely peak as the third-line center, and if he struggles again, Ryan Hartman could be an option to take that spot.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps drought in win Tuesday Gaudreau notched two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Gaudreau didn't record a single point in his first eight contests this season, but he snapped that drought in spectacular fashion Tuesday by chipping 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.

Back with team Gaudreau (personal) took part in Monday's game-day skate and should be available versus the Kings, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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 just two helpers. 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.

Not playing Saturday Gaudreau (personal) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Sharks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Gaudreau will miss a second straight game while attending to a family matter. His status for Monday's game versus the Kings has not been determined.

Will miss Friday's game Gaudreau (personal) won't be in the lineup Friday versus Vegas, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Finds twine Sunday Gaudreau scored a goal in Sunday's 4-0 win against the Blackhawks.

Impact Gaudreau's fifth tally of the season ended his 14-game goalless slump. 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.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps long, long goal drought Gaudreau scored for the first time in 2024 during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact 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.
