What It Means:

The third-year player is putting together a breakout campaign. Gaudreau scored three goals on six shots, one into an empty net. The goals were numbers 13, 14 and 15. He now has points in eight of his last 10 games and is a prime reason why the Flames have put together a nice stretch of hockey to put themselves in the thick of the Pacific Division. Joe Colborne scored the other goal for Calgary while T.J. Brodie and Mark Giordano each picked up two assists in the win.

He has tallied 37 points in 34 games. Our models project Gaudreau to net 18 more goals and dish out 27 more helpers this season, which would give him 82 points on the season. His current season-high point total is 64.
