Gaunce scored his first goal of the season in Friday's 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
The 29-year-old center took advantage of a bad Toronto line change, converting a 3-on-1 break with a shot that popped high off Ilya Samsonov's shoulder before landing into the net. Gaunce has been surprisingly productive since his promotion a couple weeks ago, recording three points in five games. He has been filling in due to the absences of Sean Kuraly (abdomen) and Boone Jenner (jaw).
