Johnny Gaudreau doesn't appear torn to pieces by Jiri Hudler's departure.
Gaudreau scored his 24th of the season with a delicious transition snipe over the shoulder of Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson - a goal that matches his rookie scoring output from a season ago, in 20 fewer games.
Hudler, his long-time opposite winger, was sent to the Florida Panthers for a pair of draft picks earlier Saturday.
