Gaudette beat out Harvard's Ryan Donato and Denver's Henrik Borgstrom for the honor.
Drafted in the fifth round (149th overall) by the Vancouver Canucks in 2015, Gaudette recorded 30 goals and 30 assists in 38 games for Northeastern this season, leading all players in each category.
He's the first Northeastern player to win the award after leading the team to a win at the Beanpot championship earlier this season.
Gaudette recently signed his entry-level contract with the NHL club, and has yet to record his first point at the pro level through four appearances.
