Gaudette scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Gaudette got a tip on a Dmitry Orlov shot in the second period. The tally stood as the game-winner, Gaudette's first such goal this season. The 29-year-old center had gone four games without a point and also missed four contests due to an upper-body injury during that stretch. He's a finisher on offense, but his chances will likely remain limited since he's on the fourth line and second power-play unit. On the year, Gaudette has four goals, one assist, 17 shots on net, nine hits, eight PIM and a minus-4 rating over 12 appearances.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Traveling with team
Rotowire
Gaudette (upper body) will join the Sharks for their road clash with Seattle on Wednesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Gaudette seems to be trending in the right direction, but he will need to be activated off injured reserve before he can return to the lineup. Prior to his four-game absence, the 29-year-old Gaudette was putting together a decent start to the campaign, registering three goals, one assist and 12 shots while averaging 10:42 of ice time. If Gaudette does play Wednesday, it will likely come in a top-six role thanks to the absence of William Eklund (lower body).

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Set to miss at least a week
Rotowire
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Wednesday that Gaudette (upper body) is considered day-to-day but is expected to miss at least a week, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Gaudette suffered an upper-body injury due to Sunday's game against the Wild. While it doesn't appear as though he's facing a particularly long-term absence, he'll likely require at least a week on the shelf to recover, which will probably lead to a more consistent role for Michael Misa.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Pots goal in loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a goal and took three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Gaudette ended up playing Tuesday despite dealing with an illness and logged over 13 minutes of ice time for the second consecutive outing. He bagged his second goal of the season, but as a bottom-six forward on a winless team that has been struggling to score of late, his fantasy upside is minimal. He has only three points through six outings in 2025-26.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Dealing with illness, deemed GTD
Rotowire
Gaudette (illness) will be a game-time decision against the Islanders on Tuesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
If Gaudette is unable to play Tuesday, Philipp Kurashev will remain in the lineup, as he'll be a healthy scratch if the former can give it a go. The 29-year-old Gaudette has accounted for one goal, two points, six PIM and a minus-5 rating while managing 1:13 of power-play ice time per game across five appearances to start the year.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: First two points in teal
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Gaudette has opened the season as the Sharks' fourth-line center, though he also has a spot on the second power-play unit. It's a similar role to the one he had with the Senators in 2024-25, when he put up 19 goals and seven assists in 81 regular-season games. Gaudette's place in the lineup is far from secure, as he could be the one who gets scratched whenever the team is ready to give Michael Misa his NHL debut.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Signs two-year pact
Rotowire
Gaudette agreed to terms on a two-year, $4 million contract with San Jose on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Gaudette was reportedly close to staying with Ottawa but evidently found better terms in San Jose. This will be the 28-year-old center's fifth NHL team in his eight-year NHL career. The Massachusetts native fell one goal shy of reaching the 20 mark last year over 81 regular-season games, and he could be in contention to challenge that threshold again in 2025-26 if he can earn a middle-six role.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Ends goal drought Sunday
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a goal and tallied two shots on net in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Gaudette tallied the first goal of the contest at 2:24 of the first period. With the tally, the 28-year-old center has 17 goals, 24 points and 87 shots on net in 76 appearances this season. Sunday's goal ended a 23-game skid without a goal and a 12-game point drought. Despite the offensive drought, Gaudette has posted the second-best point total of his career. Due to his limited ice time in a fourth-line role, it is best to seek out other options in fantasy for the remainder of the campaign.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Offense goes quiet
Rotowire
Gaudette's point drought reached 10 games in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Gaudette was a pleasant surprise for the Senators early in the campaign, but with just five points over 27 games since the start of January, the magic has run out. He's currently in a fourth-line role and will likely stay there since the Senators don't have any extra healthy forwards on the roster. The 28-year-old is at 16 goals, six assists, 78 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-12 rating over 62 appearances.

After a scoreless first period, the 28-year-old got the Senators on the board midway through the second before the team took control of the game in the final frame, with Gaudette helping to set up Shane Pinto's eventual game-winner. Gaudette snapped a seven-game point drought with the performance, and the multi-point effort was his first since Nov. 27. While his bottom-six role gives him limited fantasy value, Gaudette has already set a new career high with 16 goals in 52 games, and his plus-12 rating is also on track to be a personal best.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Gets back in goal column
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
Gaudette could have had two tallies in the contest, but the Islanders won a challenge the first time he put the puck in the net. He scored officially at 8:42 of the second period ending a 15-game point drought in which he logged just three assists. The 28-year-old has done enough to stay in the lineup, but his ice time remains limited despite him being listed on the second line.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Ends slump Saturday
Rotowire
Gaudette notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
The helper ended a nine-game slump for Gaudette. It appears the magic has worn off for the 28-year-old forward, who is still routinely in the lineup but has now gone 14 games without a goal. He's produced a career-best 13 tallies with five assists, 51 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-6 rating over 40 appearances, but volatile production won't make him a strong choice to fill out the depth of a fantasy roster.

Rotowire
Gaudette registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Gaudette has started to find a playmaking side with a goal and three assists over his last six outings. The 28-year-old's offense is likely to remain a bit limited despite his top-six role and power-play time, but he's doing enough to stay in the mix for deeper fantasy formats. Gaudette is up to 17 points, 40 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-5 rating through 30 contests this season.
