Rotowire
Gudas scored a goal on three shots while adding four PIM, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
Gudas had cooled off after a recent three-game point streak, but he's still had a productive November.

Ducks' Radko Gudas: Records Gordie Howe hat trick
Rotowire
Gudas scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 road win against the Predators.
Gudas ended up with a plus-2 rating, a shot on goal, three blocked shots and six hits. In addition, he dropped the gloves midway through the second period, as he and Jeremy Lauzon of the Predators picked up fighting majors. After managing just one goal and two points in the first 13 contests of the season, Gudas has two markers and an assist in the past two outings. He'll look to make it three games in a row with a goal in Wednesday's trip to Colorado.

Ducks' Radko Gudas: Pockets helper
Rotowire
Gudas registered an assist, two shots on goal, six hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Coyotes.
Gudas contributed heavily in the physical categories, and he also had a helper on Leo Carlsson's game-tying goal in the third period. With two points over his last four games, Gudas is starting to make occasional forays onto the scoresheet. That's all of his offense through 10 contests, and the 33-year-old blueliner has added 26 hits, 23 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating while filling a bottom-four role.

Ducks' Radko Gudas: Scores rare goal
Rotowire
Gudas scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.
Gudas opened the scoring with five minutes left in the first period. The 33-year-old blueliner has not topped five goals in any of the last six seasons, so he shouldn't be expected to put up much offense. His tally Thursday was his first point to go with 16 hits, 15 blocked shots and 22 PIM through seven contests.

Gudas will add toughness to the Ducks' blue line. He had two goals, 15 assists, 79 PIM, 312 hits and 124 blocked shots for the Panthers last season. Look for Gudas to be a top-four defenseman in Anaheim, possibly pairing with youngster Jamie Drysdale.

Panthers' Radko Gudas: Battled high ankle sprain
Rotowire
Gudas was playing through a high ankle sprain in the postseason, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Gudas was able to avoid missing games in the postseason, but he was likely hurt in the Stanley Cup Finals. The defenseman had three assists in 21 appearances during the playoffs. He should have a decent chance to be ready for 2023-24 if there are no further undisclosed injuries for him.

Panthers' Radko Gudas: Three helpers in season finale
Rotowire
Gudas record three assists in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
All three points -- in fact, all four of the Panthers' goals -- came in the third period as they tried desperately to claw their way back from a 2-0 deficit, to no avail, and avoid a loss that would book them a ticket to Boston for the first round. Gudas has just one point, a helper, in his prior 12 games, and the physical blueliner's last multi-point performance came May 20, 2021, but his fantasy value doesn't come from his offensive skill. The 32-year-old finishes the season with 312 hits, second in the NHL to Luke Schenn, and 2022-23 marks the third time in Gudas' career he's topped 300.

Panthers' Radko Gudas: Being evaluated
Rotowire

Panthers' Radko Gudas: Playing against Habs
Rotowire
Gudas (concussion) will suit up versus Montreal on Thursday.
Gudas returns following a 10-game stint on the shelf after suffering his concussion. With just one point in his last 10 contests, Gudas rejoining the lineup probably won't impact the majority of fantasy players, though he does dish out plenty of hits in formats that value defensive stats.

Panthers' Radko Gudas: Might return Thursday
Rotowire
Gudas (concussion) may be cleared to play in time for Thursday's clash with Montreal.
If Gudas plays, it would bring his 10-game stint on injured reserve to an end. Additionally, Matt Kiersted would be the most likely player dropped from the lineup whenever Gudas is ready to return. Considering Gudas has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three straight seasons, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much in the way of value from the Czech blueliner.

Panthers' Radko Gudas: Unlikely to return Saturday
Rotowire
Gudas (concussion) isn't likely to play Saturday against New Jersey, per the NHL media site.
Gudas hasn't played since Dec. 3, but he was regarded as a game-time decision Saturday, so it's fair to say he's close to returning. The 32-year-old has two goals, six points and 39 PIM in 25 contests this season while averaging 18:49 of ice time.
