Gaunce was sent down to the minors Tuesday.

Analysis:

Gaunce returns to the AHL where he has notched 15 goals and 18 helpers in 43 contests. That ability to write himself on the scoresheet was absent from his NHL performance as the center managed a lone goal in 20 games with the Canucks. Fans and fantasy owners alike will want to keep on eye on the 22-year-old's continued development during the Calder Cup playoffs.
