Gaunce scored twice and added an assist in AHL Providence's 8-0 win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Gaunce has nine points over 11 games this season, but he's picked up the pace with five points over his last two outings. The veteran forward will be in the mix for a call-up if the Bruins need any bottom-six help, but he'll otherwise spend much of 2026-27 in the AHL.

Gaunce was placed on waivers by the Bruins on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Providence.
Gaunce made 25 regular-season appearances with the Blue Jackets last year and recorded two goals, four assists, 44 hits, 21 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 11:54 of ice time. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Bruins during the offseason and will begin the year in the minors if he clears waivers.

Gaunce signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Bruins on Wednesday.
Gaunce has made double-digit appearances in the NHL in each of the last three regular seasons. Across 25 games with Columbus during the 2025-26 campaign, he recorded two goals, four assists, 44 hits, 21 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 11:54 of ice time. While he could spend most of his time in the minors with his new club, Gaunce will likely be an option to provide depth if the Bruins deal with injuries at some point.

Gaunce scored the game-winning goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 4-3 overtime win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.
Gaunce has four goals and four assists over eight outings with the Monsters since he was demoted from the Blue Jackets in late January. The veteran forward has 14 points in 19 appearances at the AHL level and another six points in 25 games at the NHL level. Should the Blue Jackets need forward depth after the Olympic break, Gaunce would likely be near the top of the list for a call-up.

Gaunce scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 6-5 overtime win over Belleville on Saturday.
Gaunce has six goals and four helpers over 14 AHL outings this season. This was just his second game back with Cleveland after spending over two months in the Blue Jackets' bottom six. He'll likely be near the top of the list for a recall if the team sustains future injuries at forward.

Gaunce was put on waivers Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Gaunce has picked up two goals, four assists, 29 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 44 hits across 25 NHL games this season. If he clears waivers, he will likely head to AHL Cleveland. Gaunce has four goals and six points in 12 minor-league appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.
