But boy it seems like he’s shooting more so perhaps it’s that he’s taking more advantage of grade a chances whereas last season he wasn’t?

Gaudreau's individual 5v5 chances through 15 games have already been worth 2.84 expected goals.
Through 70 games last year, he generated 11.86 expected goals.
His 0.87 individual expected goals/60 this year is the highest rate of his career by a decent margin. He's taking great shots and he's doing so on a consistent basis.
