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.
