Gaudreau is typically a very effective bottom-six player, and he registered 82 points across the previous two campaigns, but the 30-year-old has yet to generate any offense in 2023-24. The Wild have recalled Jujhar Khaira from the AHL, and he's expected to replace Gaudreau in the lineup. Minnesota also faces Washington and New Jersey on its trip, which ends on Sunday.

The 29-year-old has been playing his best hockey of the season this month, registering five goals and five assists in 14 games. He's given Minnesota a much-needed offensive lift, with Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) out of commission. For the season overall, Gaudreau has provided 16 goals and 35 points in 75 games.
