Looking ahead to 2025-26, Gourde will likely primarily fill a middle-six role and could see some power-play ice time.

Tallies in Monday's win Gourde scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Gourde scored for the first time since Dec. 30 when he was still with the Kraken. The 33-year-old has fit in well on the Lightning's third line since the trade deadline, racking up 11 points in 16 outings. Overall, he's produced 28 points, 63 shots on net, 97 hits, 52 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 52 appearances. While his offense was down in general last year, a lengthy absence following a sports hernia surgery explains much of reduced scoring for Gourde in 2024-25.

Gourde will likely continue to center the Lightning's third line while also frequently featuring in defensive situations.

Two assists in Thursday's win Gourde logged two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 8-0 win over Utah.

Impact Gourde helped out on goals by linemates Oliver Bjorkstrand and Gage Goncalves. It's been all playmaking for Gourde in his second stint with the Lightning -- he has eight assists, 30 hits, 15 shots on net and 11 PIM over 11 contests since he was traded away from the Kraken. For the season, the 33-year-old forward has 25 points, 55 shots on net, 89 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 47 appearances.

Four assists in last five games Gourde put up two assists in a 6-2 win over the Bruins on Saturday.

Impact Gourde is making his mark with the Bolts. He has four assists in five games, including three in his last two games. He's fired nine shots and levelled 18 hits while centering the third line. This is exactly what the Bolts had hoped they'd get from Gourde when they acquired him, and it's a profile that will go a long way in the postseason. Until then, his fantasy value is limited, even in leagues that count hits. Center is usually too deep to get them in that spot.

Snags assist Thursday Gourde notched a power-play assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Impact This was Gourde's second helper over four contests since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kraken last Wednesday. The 33-year-old has immediately slotted in as the third-line center and looks to be connecting well with Gage Goncalves and Oliver Bjorkstrand, who was also traded from the Kraken. Gourde is up to 19 points, 46 shots on net, 73 hits and a minus-8 rating over 40 appearances this season. He won't score a ton, but he's at no risk of losing his place in the lineup as a key checking forward.
