Gaucher sat out the first game with the locks, but drew into the second when Canada decided to dress 13 forwards on the back-to-back (and in case Kidney, who was injured in the opener, wasn’t good to go). Gaucher played well, too. He picked up a net-front assist going to the spot he’s always going to go to poke a puck free to Roy, but he was also involved on the forecheck, physical and flashed some skill (including a between-the-legs attempt that he nearly finished at the top of the crease on the power play). He’s going to be an important part of Canada’s bottom six (I expect as it’s fourth-line centre, though he may move up and down over the course of the tournament) and penalty kill with his size, power, and skating.
