Gaudreau scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
Gaudreau's tally prevented any late comeback effort from the Sabres. The 31-year-old center has four goals and two assists over 10 contests in March while regularly playing on the second line. He's at 16 goals, 32 points, 96 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-5 rating over 70 appearances. A late-season scoring binge could help him get to the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career, and a 40-point campaign, while unlikely, isn't out of the question either.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Posts assist Wednesday
Rotowire
Gaudreau recorded an assist in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.
Gaudreau has slowed down on offense with just a goal and an assist over his last seven outings. He had put up six points across the seven games before that from Feb. 8 to March 4. The 31-year-old continues to center the second line as the Wild are missing Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), and Gaudreau could get another bump in minutes if Marco Rossi (lower body) misses additional time after leaving Wednesday's game early. Overall, Gaudreau is up to 31 points, 94 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-4 rating over 69 appearances.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Nets power-play equalizer
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Gaudreau's tally in the third period tied the game at 2-2, and it was enough to force the extra session. The center had gone three contests without a point, but that followed a stretch of four goals and two assists over seven outings. For the season, he's been a decent depth scorer with 15 goals, 30 points, 91 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 66 appearances. That's double his point total from 67 games in 2023-24, but he's unlikely to end up anywhere near his career-high 44 points from 2021-22.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Puts up two points in win
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Gaudreau stretched the Wild's lead to 3-1 early in the second period and then helped out on a Mats Zuccarello tally later in the frame. Those two forwards have formed an effective line with Marcus Johansson over recent games. Gaudreau has earned four goals and two assists across his last seven outings, and he's up to 29 points, 87 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 62 contests overall.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Nets game-winning goal
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored the lone goal of Sunday's 1-0 win over the Bruins.
Gaudreau lit the lamp for game-winning tally by redirecting a shot from Marcus Johansson. The 31-year-old Gaudreau is up to 13 goals, 27 points and 84 shots on net in 61 appearances this season. With injuries to Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), Gaudreau has jumped up to Minnesota's second power-play unit. The third-line center has scored three goals in his past six games. With less forwards available and his momentum offensively, Gaudreau has some value in deeper leagues for the time being.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Utah.
Gaudreau has two goals and an assist over his last four games. He got the Wild on the board at 16:02 of the second period, but Utah's top line dominated in the third to keep the visitors from making a comeback push. Gaudreau is up to 12 goals, 26 points, 82 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-1 rating over 59 appearances this season. He's been an effective middle-six forward, and while he doesn't stand out in any area, he has enough offense to be considered in deep fantasy formats.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Pots goal in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Gaudreau netted a power-play goal on two shots and went plus-1 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
Gaudreau's tally was a fortunate one, as his shot was headed wide of the target before it careened off Tony DeAngelo into the back of the net. This was Gaudreau's third power-play marker of the season, matching his career high. Through 56 appearances this season, the Quebec native has chipped in 11 goals and 24 points while filling a middle-six role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit. Gaudreau is currently converting at the best rate of his career with a 14.5 shooting percentage.

Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a goal on three shots and logged an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over Montreal.
Gaudreau set up Liam Ohgren's tally for the game's first goal then finished matters with an empty-netter. It was the third multi-point effort of the season for Gaudreau, who has points in four consecutive outings. The third-line forward is up to 10 goals and 13 assists through 52 appearances.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Provides assist Wednesday
Rotowire
Gaudreau logged an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Gaudreau has two goals and two assists over his last five appearances. The 31-year-old center has had a couple of good stretches this season, so he may be worth considering as a short-term addition to fill out a fantasy roster's depth. He's produced 21 points, 68 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 28 hits and a minus-1 rating over 51 outings in 2024-25.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Scores again Sunday
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Gaudreau scored for the second game in a row, and he also earned a plus rating for just the second time in six contests. The center's first-period tally put the Wild ahead 2-0 as they controlled play early Sunday. Gaudreau has 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) over 50 appearances this season, returning to that threshold after missing out with a 15-point campaign in 2023-24. Still, his limited non-scoring production from a third-line role means Gaudreau isn't a particularly strong option for fantasy managers.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Puts away power-play goal
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.
Gaudreau had been limited to two assists over his last 11 contests since he scored Dec. 29 against the Senators. The 31-year-old center has played in a third-line role lately, which isn't a spot to help his offense take off, though he's also on the second power-play unit. For the season, Gaudreau has eight goals (two on the power play), 19 points, 66 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 49 appearances.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Posts assist Monday
Rotowire
Gaudreau recorded an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Gaudreau helped out on a Jake Middleton tally in the first period. The Wild's third line contributed on all three goals, a rarity for a team that tends to lean heavily on its top players with few depth-scoring contributions. This helper ended a four-game slump for Gaudreau, who now has 18 points, 62 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 47 appearances.

Rotowire
Gaudreau logged an assist in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Gaudreau had been limited to three goals and one assist over 18 games since the start of December. The 31-year-old has maintained a steady spot on the third line, but the Wild's offense is often dominated by the top six.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Leaves practice early
Rotowire
Gaudreau left Monday's practice early due to an illness, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Gaudreau still has time to recover before Tuesday's matchup against St. Louis. He has registered seven goals, 16 points and 60 shots on net across 40 appearances this season. If Gaudreau and Mats Zuccarello (illness) can't play versus the Blues, Minnesota will need some reinforcements from the AHL.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Scores in loss versus Ottawa
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.
Gaudreau scored the opening goal in the latter stages of the first period, but the Wild gave up three unanswered goals the rest of the way, meaning they couldn't extend their winning streak to three games. Gaudreau at least managed to snap his point drought, though, as this goal was the first time he cracked the scoresheet since netting a power-play goal in a 7-1 loss to the Oilers on Dec. 12.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Nets power-play goal in loss
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.
Gaudreau found the back of the net on the power play for the first time this season, but that was all the offense the Wild could muster in this contest. The goal also snapped a three-game pointless streak for Gaudreau, who's up to six goals and 15 total points across 29 appearances in 2024-25.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Scores in win over Vancouver
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
Gaudreau went five straight games without scoring a goal between Nov. 23 and Nov. 30, but he snapped that drought with his first appearance of December. That said, he has only five goals and 14 points across 25 appearances this season, so he hasn't been productive or consistent enough to warrant being rostered in most formats. At least he's set to surpass the 15-point season he had in 2023-24, so the lone bright spot so far is that he's leaving a woeful season in the rearview.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Contributes helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Gaudreau notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Gaudreau won a faceoff straight to Declan Chisholm, who fired in the opening goal at 18:57 of the first period. The helper snapped a four-game slump for Gaudreau, his longest since he opened the season with no points over eight games. The center is up to four goals, nine assists, 34 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 23 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a bottom-six role, though he's proven he can chip in depth scoring. Gaudreau had 44 points in 2021-22 and 38 points in 2022-23 before dipping to 15 points last season, so it appears he's correcting course in a positive manner this year.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Shines in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Gaudreau scored two goals on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.
Gaudreau hadn't scored in his first nine games in November, but he had six assists in that span. The center played a starring role Thursday, tallying the Wild's last two goals of the contest, which included the game-winner. He's up to four tallies, 12 points, 29 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 19 appearances, and he's primarily played on the third line over the last month. He's just three points shy of matching his output from 2023-24.
