Ends goal drought Gourde scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Gourde opened the scoring at 4:04 of the first period. The tally was his first since Jan. 9, a span of 18 games in which he mustered just six assists. The 32-year-old has not been as reliable as usual in 2023-24 with just eight goals, 23 points, 124 shots on net, 107 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 59 appearances. Despite the scoring struggles, Gourde's spot on the third line is not in jeopardy.

Produces helper Monday Gourde notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Bruins.

Impact Gourde has two helpers over his last four games. The 32-year-old has struggled to get his offense going since his two-game suspension in January -- he has three assists over 11 outings since he returned. He's still in a third-line role as usual, racking up 22 points, 118 shots on net, 101 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 56 contests. Without more offense, Gourde's usefulness is limited to deeper fantasy formats that reward his physical play.

Ends slump with assist Gourde notched an assist, six shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

The 32-year-old Gourde has endured a down year on offense with 21 points, 113 shots on net, 93 hits, 52 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 53 appearances. He'd need a massive surge to get back to the 48-point mark he posted in his first two years with the Kraken, and that's unlikely to happen with him firmly in a third-line role.

He's at 12 points, 66 shots on net, 41 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 31 contests this season. He can help in deeper fantasy formats when he's scoring, but bursts of offense can be sporadic for the veteran forward.
