Gaudreau has played well since arriving in Minnesota and has been rewarded with his first long-term NHL deal.
With sniper Matt Boldy held out on Thursday, Gaudreau became the only Minnesota player to dress for all 82 regular season games, no small achievement given the intensity of the Central Division.
A testament to Gaudreau’s smooth stick handling comes from his shootout record; his 8 shootout tallies in 2022-2023 led the league in some ways at a 61.5 percent success rate. Wild coach Dean Evason convinced the team to take a chance on his longtime pupil with the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals; in long minutes with studs like Boldy, Kevin Fiala, and Kirill Kaprizov, the veteran did not look out of place, notching 44 points in 76 games.
