Player to watch vs. Capitals: Adam Gaudette

ST. LOUIS -- My St. Louis Blues player to watch against the Washington Capitals on Saturday is forward Adam Gaudette.

We spoke at length with the recently-recalled forward about getting another opportunity to get back into the NHL and how he'd like to make it stick.

Well, he will get the chance to play with Nathan Walker, who scored twice Thursday against the Washington Capitals, and Kevin Hayes in the rematch on Saturday night, and Blues interim coach Drew Bannister indicated Gaudette may get a chance to jump onto the power play tonight.

Gaudette scored 24 goals with the Thunderbirds and likes to shoot the puck, and after the Blues were 0-for-5 with the man advantage on Thursday, why not give Gaudette the chance to shoot on his off wing if the man advantage presents itself tonight?
