Gaudette scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Gaudette had six goals over a five-game span from Oct. 25 to Nov. 2, but he had since gone four contests without a point. That hot stretch has helped him earn a steady role in the Senators' bottom six and on the second power-play unit, but it was well above his usual level of production. The 28-year-old center is up to seven goals, one assist, 24 shots on net, 12 hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 15 outings this season. Gaudette is unlikely to repeat his 33-point campaign from 2019-20, but he's in a good position to top the 20-point mark for the first time since that season.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Scores again Saturday
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Gaudette has scored all six of his goals this season over the last five games while filling a bottom-six role. The 28-year-old played in his 10th game of the season and will now require waivers if the Senators want to send him back to AHL Belleville, but that doesn't seem likely while he's playing well. He has seven points, 17 shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a plus-5 rating. While his offense is hot, his limited role makes him risky as anything more than a streaming option in fantasy.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Scores lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
Gaudette can't stop scoring -- he has five tallies over his last four games. The 28-year-old center has played in nine games this season, earning six points 15 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-4 rating. If he suits up again Saturday versus the Kraken, he will have to go through waivers to be reassigned to AHL Belleville, but at this point, the Senators may just let him stay in the NHL until his offense cools off.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Back up from minors
Rotowire
Gaudette was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday.
Gaudette has four goals in his last three games, so any additional moves between the NHL and AHL will likely be temporary, cap-saving measures. With an upcoming back-to-back versus the Rangers and Kraken on Friday and Saturday, respectively, look for Gaudette to avoid any stints in the minors in the short-term.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Sent to minors
Rotowire
Gaudette was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
Gaudette scored two goals in Tuesday's 8-1 win over St. Louis and has provided four markers across his past three appearances with Ottawa. Perhaps this move is just a paper transaction. It wouldn't be surprising if the Senators recall Gaudette before Friday's game against the Rangers.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Another two-goal night
Rotowire
Gaudette scored two goals in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Blues.
Both of the journeyman center's tallies came against Jordan Binnington after St. Louis starter Joel Hofer had already been lifted from the net midway through the second period. Gaudette has four goals on the season, and they've all come in a pair of two-goal efforts over the last three contests. The Senators' offense is hot right now, and even fourth-liners like Gaudette are reaping the benefits.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Called up Tuesday
Rotowire
Gaudette was promoted from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
Gaudette was loaned to the minors Monday, but the move appears to have been a paper transaction. The right-shot forward will likely slot in on the fourth line and No. 2 power-play unit ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus St. Louis. Gaudette has generated two goals, one assist and a plus-1 rating through seven games.

Rotowire
Gaudette was assigned to AHL Belleville on Monday.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Nets two goals Friday
Rotowire
Gaudette scored two goals, including one in the power play, in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.
Gaudette had produced just one assist in his first five appearances this season before erupting for two goals in Friday's defeat. Still, the Senators crumbled late in the third period to spoil his successful showing. As a bottom-six forward, his opportunities for production might be limited to what he can do on Ottawa's second power-play combination.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Gaudette was promoted from AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
Gaudette registered an assist in Monday's win over the Kings despite logging just 5:36 of ice time. With Ridly Greig (upper body) on the shelf, the veteran Gaudette figures to remain in a fourth-line role over the next several contests -- even if he gets moved back and forth between the minors as part of cap-saving measures.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Surfaces on waivers
Rotowire
Gaudette was put on the waiver wire Sunday.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Two points in preseason win
Rotowire
Gaudette scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 preseason win over the Canadiens.
Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle both left the game early due to upper-body injuries, which allowed Gaudette to get some extra time with the man advantage. The 27-year-old is on a two-way contract in his second stint with Ottawa after spending most of 2023-24 in the AHL, and if either or both of Tkachuk and Stutzle end up being sidelined for the start of the season, it would greatly improve Gaudette's chances of breaking camp on the NHL roster. Even in that scenario, however, he would be headed for a bottom-six role, and behind Josh Norris and Shane Pinto in the pecking order for power-play shifts.

Rotowire
Gaudette signed a one-year, two-way contract with Ottawa on Tuesday.

He notched four goals and 12 points in 50 regular-season appearances with Ottawa during the 2021-22 campaign. The 27-year-old forward will compete for a depth spot on the roster at training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising if he started 2024-25 in the minors.
