Adam Gaudette, who joined the San Jose Sharks in free agency after a career year with the Ottawa Senators, delivered a strong performance in his second game with the team.
Last season, Gaudette produced 19 goals for the Senators, but left the team in the summer to sign a two-year contract with the Sharks.
Now 29 years old, Gaudette can provide veteran leadership to the young Sharks team. In the Sharks' 7-6 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks, Gaudette recorded one goal and one assist, including an assist on Ryan Reaves' goal.
This performance came after a quiet debut on Thursday night, where Gaudette recorded no points.
Gaudette's experience and skill will be valuable to the Sharks as they look to improve their record, currently standing at 0-0-2 in the 2025-26 season.
