Adam Gaudette, at least, knows that he\u2019s playing well.<\/p>\n
Gaudette has been healthy scratched for the last three games, but it doesn\u2019t seem performance-based.<\/p>\n
The center-winger has 13 goals, fifth on the San Jose Sharks. He actually leads the Sharks with 1.3 5-on-5 Goals Per 60, just ahead of more celebrated teammates, Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith\u2019s 1.19.<\/p>\n
Gaudette is back in the line-up on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens, his first game since the Olympic break.<\/p>\n
No doubt, this is a frustrating situation for Gaudette, but credit to him, he really doesn\u2019t show it. The 29-year-old shared how he\u2019s stayed so positive through stops with the Vancouver Canucks, Chicago Blackhawks, Toronto Maple Leafs, St. Louis Blues,\u00a0 Ottawa Senators, and San Jose organizations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just been through a lot of shit, and I think that\u2019s what forms people, is when you go through shit and you come out of it stronger and learn things,\u201d Gaudette said. \u201cI\u2019ve always looked at it as a learning experience and to never get too down or never get too high.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAdam\u2019s done a hell of a job of showing up everyday,\u201d San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky said. \u201cHe\u2019s a pro. It\u2019s a tough spot, right? We\u2019re trying to develop some young players up front. He\u2019s played some really good hockey for us. He\u2019s a guy that can move up and down your line-up, can play center, can play the wing, he can rip it, he can score.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gaudette spoke candidly with San Jose Hockey Now last week, about the \u201cshit\u201d he\u2019s been through, his lines of communication with Warsofsky, how he wants to raise his game, and who he complains to when he\u2019s frustrated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in a unique situation as an organization,\u201d Warsofsky said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to develop some players. We\u2019re also trying to win critical hockey games down the stretch, where we didn\u2019t think we were going to be where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Gaudette, at least, knows that he\u2019s playing well.
