Former Vancouver Canucks forward and current Ottawa Senator @Adam Gaudette scored the shootout winner against his old team in Tuesday&#8217;s game at Rogers Arena.

Gaudette, 25, played the first 153 regular-season games of his National Hockey League with the Canucks before being dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks in 2021.
During his time in Vancouver, Gaudette picked up a little information that proved useful during his attempt on ex-teammate @Thatcher Demko in Tuesday&#8217;s skills competition.
&#8220;I thought he was gonna be cheating a little more, to be honest,&#8221; Gaudette told reporters after the game. &#8220;I worked on that move a lot when I was here. I was close with [Canucks goaltending coach] Ian Clark, who sat me down, showed me some video on that type of move. I had it in mind and I just stuck with it.&#8221;

The Senators used Gaudette very sparingly during Tuesday&#8217;s game. The 6&#8217;1&#8243; forward played just six shifts in the entire contest and none in the third period or overtime; it <a href="https://twitter.com/KevinisInGoal/status/1516643945622605828">took some effort</a> from Senators assistant coach Davis Payne to persuade bench boss D.J. Smith to allow Gaudette to shoot.
The Canucks picked up a point in Tuesday&#8217;s contest but fell 4–3 to the Senators. J.T. Miller scored the first goal of the shootout but @Alex Formenton tied it in the third round before Gaudette won it in the fifth.
