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.

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.

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.

Rotowire

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.

Gaudreau extended his point streak to six games when he helped out on a Marcus Foligno tally in the first period.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Extends streak with helper
Rotowire
Gaudreau provided an assist and won 11 of 16 faceoffs in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
Gaudreau's point streak is up to four games (two goals, four assists), accounting for all of his offense this season. The 31-year-old center is also seeing regular time on the second power-play unit in addition to his third-line role at even strength. Gaudreau probably won't be able to sustain his hot streak in the long run, but he's worth a look as a streaming option in fantasy for the rest of the week as the Wild have easy matchups versus the Sharks, Ducks and Blackhawks on tap.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Notches assist
Rotowire
Gaudreau recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Gaudreau has five points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense this season. He looks to be fitting in better on the third line after beginning the year as a fourth-liner. Gaudreau has added 16 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 11 contests. His all-around production isn't enough to help in standard fantasy formats, but he's worth a look in deeper leagues as long as he's racking up points.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Adds helper in win
Rotowire
Gaudreau logged an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.
All four of Gaudreau's points this season have come in the last two games. The 31-year-old center has worked his way into a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit with his recent surge of offense. He's added 15 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 contests. Gaudreau will likely peak as the third-line center, and if he struggles again, Ryan Hartman could be an option to take that spot.

Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Snaps drought in win Tuesday
Rotowire
Gaudreau notched two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
Gaudreau didn't record any points in his first eight contests this season, but he snapped that drought in spectacular fashion Tuesday by playing a role in three of the team's five goals. The 31-year-old forward scored in the first and second periods before getting an assist in Kirill Kaprizov's empty-netter in the final seconds. As a middle-six forward who often sees time in the power play, Gaudreau was bound to end this drought sooner rather than later, though fantasy managers would probably want to see more consistency out of Gaudreau before trusting him again in most formats.
