Radko Gudas - NHL News & Rumors

Dishes pair of helpers Gudas notched two assists and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact Gudas ended a 12-game point drought after assisting on both of Frank Vatrano's goals in this contest. The 34-year-old Gudas is hardly a regular on the scoresheet, but he's had significant struggles on offense in 2024-25. He's now at five helpers, 25 shots on net, 95 hits, 67 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 30 appearances. His ice time is also trending down since the Ducks traded for Jacob Trouba, and Gudas hasn't picked up much extra time since Cam Fowler was dealt to St. Louis.

Impact Gudas has earned his three helpers this season over the last five games. He also has 10 PIM, 16 hits and 11 blocked shots in that span. The defenseman is up to 54 hits, 47 blocks, 14 PIM, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while filling a top-four role as a defensive specialist for the Ducks.

Assists in consecutive contests Gudas produced an assist, five hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Gudas has a helper in back-to-back games after going 12 contests without a point to begin the season. He saw a season-high 22:18 of ice time Sunday as Cam Fowler (upper body) remained out of the lineup. Gudas has two assists, 11 shots on net, 10 PIM, 46 hits and 41 blocked shots as a physical force on the Ducks' blue line.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on scoresheet with helper Gudas notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and six PIM in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Gudas set up Mason McTavish's tally late in the third period. The helper was Gudas' first point of the season. He's added 10 shots on net, 10 PIM, a minus-1 rating, 41 hits and 39 blocked shots over 13 contests. The slow start means Gudas will have a tough time reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since 2018-19, but he should continue to be a steady source of hits and blocks while being a fixture in the Ducks' lineup as the team's captain.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

No points in October Gudas did not record a point over the Ducks' first 10 games of the season.

Impact Gudas was named the team's captain -- the Ducks' first since Ryan Getzlaf's retirement at the end of 2021-22 -- prior to the season. While Gudas hasn't recorded a point, he's performed as expected with 35 hits, 32 blocked shots and four PIM over 10 contests. The Butcher continues to see bottom-four minutes on defense, but he should be capable of 200-plus hits, 150-plus blocks, 80-plus PIM and 15-20 points over the course of a full season.
