What It Means:

This game wasn’t without some drama as the Rangers erased a three-goal deficit late in the third period with three unanswered goals. Gaudreau, who had six shots on net, has been hard to stop lately. He has seven goals and 10 points over his past five games. T.J. Brodie picked up the winner, while Mason Raymond and Joe Colborne got the other goals.

After totaling 64 points in 80 games as a rookie a year ago, Gaudreau is upping his production across the board. This performance increased his totals to 12 goals and 31 points through 29 games. We project Gaudreau to amass 19 more goals and 29 more assists over the final 52 games, which would give him 78 points for the season.
