Gaudreau has been in the Predators lineup for the last five games and has just three assists in 17 games with the Predators this season. His return to the AHL suggests that either Ryan Johansen or Scott Hartnell will be back in the Predators lineup on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old forward had a nice postseason for the Predators last season, picking up three goals in eight playoff games. Gaudreau has also had a nice start to his AHL season, registering four points (1G / 3A) in three games with the Admirals. He comes up to take Yannick Weber’s roster spot and could make his season debut on Tuesday.
Gaudreau played on Saturday because the Predators were missing four players due to food poisoning, but with those players set to return this week, Gaudreau has been sent back to Milwaukee. He had three blocked shots in 9:01 TOI on Saturday.
