Gaudette was traded to the Blackhawks last April, picking up two goals and four assists (six points) in 15 games with Chicago between last year and this year.

Gaudette was a healthy scratch in the Blackhawks season opener but will replace Ryan Carpenter in the lineup on Friday. Gaudette impressed after being traded to Chicago late last season, scoring one goal with three assists in just seven games. However, a bottom-6 role likely won't lead to a whole lot of production in 2021-22.

Gaudette was acquired from the Canucks for Matthew Highmore in April and contributed one goal and three assists in seven games with the Blackhawks. Gaudette will be battling with the likes of Henrik Borgstrom, Brett Connolly and Alex Nylander for playing time in 2021-22.

Gaudette has played in six straight games but will be replaced by Dylan Strome in the lineup on Monday. Gaudette has one goal and three assists in seven games since joining the Blackhawks.

Gaudette had one assist in 7:39 TOI in his Blackhawks debut on April 19th but sat out for the last three games. He will replace Philip Kurashev in the lineup on Thursday and will likely skate on the third line with Dylan Strome.

This seems like odd timing to trade Gaudette if you're the Canucks. Gaudette had a solid 2020 campaign, posting 33 points (12G / 21A) in 59 games but they've sold low on him, with him picking up just seven points (4G / 3A) in 33 games. Gaudette has some offensive upside but has been tough to trust in his own end. For the Blackhawks, it's a very low-risk investment.

Gaudette was on the ice for the start of Tuesday's practice but was pulled immediately once the results of his test came back positive. Gaudette will undergo further testing to determine if it was a false positive but this doesn't bode well for him playing on Wednesday.

Gaudette suited up for the last five games but will be replaced by Loui Eriksson in the lineup on Saturday night. Gaudette scored in the Canucks season opener but has just one goal and no assists in 10 games since.

Gaudette will sit as a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game, which means Zack MacEwen will remain in the lineup in the first of two games against the Senators. Gaudette was held scoreless with a minus-5 rating in his last five games.

Gaudette has played in the last four games since being called up and has picked up three points (1G / 2A) during that time. However, Sven Baertschi will replace Gaudette in the lineup in Winnipeg.

Gaudette will dress in an NHL game for the first time since October 12th but with Micheal Ferland out with a concussion, Gaudette will suit up in Anaheim. Gaudette has one assist in three games this season.
