Gaudette scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.
Gaudette was a game-time decision due to an illness, but he suited up and saw 14:12 of ice time in a second-line role. The 29-year-old has earned the bump up with a point in three straight outings. He's at seven goals, two assists, 35 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 23 appearances, but he's capable of putting together some strong stretches on offense.

Rotowire
Gaudette is under the weather and will be a game-time call versus Utah on Monday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Gaudette ended November on a high note, registering two goals and one helper in his last six outings. The 29-year-old center will likely be replaced in the lineup by Zack Ostapchuk if he can't play against the Mammoth -- though it's Collin Graf who could see the biggest uptick in ice time.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Pots game-winning goal Friday
Rotowire
Gaudette scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
Gaudette was the hero for the Sharks on Friday, as he netted the game-winning goal at the 15:17 mark of the second period with a slick backhander. Gaudette has six goals on the season, and while he has a steady role as a top-six forward, he doesn't do enough in fantasy to be considered a worthwhile roster addition in most formats. He has seven points in 21 games on the season and has cracked the 25-point plateau just twice in his career.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Tips in goal
Rotowire
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: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Gaudette (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Gaudette sustained an upper-body injury Sunday against the Wild, and his placement on injured reserve isn't particularly surprising since head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Wednesday that the 29-year-old is expected to miss at least a week. Michael Misa will likely have a chance to step up in Gaudette's absence.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Set to miss at least a week
Rotowire

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.
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: Nabs first NHL playoff goal in loss
Rotowire
Gaudette scored the game-tying goal to force overtime in a 3-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
Gaudette deflected a point shot past Anthony Stolarz at 14:47 of the third after a rare Leafs giveaway. It was his first playoff goal and point (12 games). Gaudette has averaged just 8:08 of ice time this postseason after averaging 10:25 across 81 games this season. He's a bit player -- so, nice game, but he's not fantasy material.
