Playing career

Gaudreau played midget hockey in the QMAAA with the Magog Cantonniers before embarking on major junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Shawinigan Cataractes and the Drummondville Voltigeurs.[1]

Undrafted, Gaudreau signed his first professional contract with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL, on June 12, 2014.[2] In the 2014–15 season, he added to the depth of the Milwaukee attack, contributing with 11 points in 43 games. He was also loaned for 14 games to ECHL partner, the Cincinnati Cyclones, in producing 5 goals. On May 21, 2015, Gaudreau was extended by the Admirals for a further season.[3]

In the midst of a break out 2015–16 season, having established himself in a scoring role with the Admirals, Gaudreau was signed to a two-year, entry-level contract with the NHL affiliate, the Nashville Predators on January 6, 2016.[4] He completed the season in the AHL, placing third on the Admirals in scoring with new professional highs with 15 goals and 42 points in 75 games.

After attending the Predators training camp, he was reassigned to continue with Milwaukee to begin the 2016–17 season. On October 22, 2016, Gaudreau received his first NHL recall to the Predators, after the team suffered a bout of food poisoning.[5]He immediately made his NHL debut with the Predators in a 5-1 victory over the defending champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins.[6] He was returned to the Admirals following the game.
