Yanni Gourde is expected back in Seattle's lineup Tuesday (personal)

Gourde missed the Krakens previous game due to personal reasons but will be back in the lineup Tuesday after taking line rushes in practice. Through six games he has zero points to start his 2022-23 after finishing 2021-22 with 21 goals and 48 points.

Gourde (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Gourde was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Bruins. The Kraken will already be without Jared McCann (upper-body), who was moved to IR. So the Kraken could be very thin down the middle against a very good Bruins squad.

Gourde is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Gourde was banged up in the Kraken's loss in Vegas on Tuesday. Head coach Dave Hakstol called him day-to-day on Wednesday, making him questionable to play Thursday vs. the Ducks. Luckily, it looks like Jared McCann will return from the COVID-19 reserve list to replace Gourde.

The Lightning have signed Yanni Gourde to a six-year extension worth $30.996M ($5.166M AAV).

Gourde was an undrafted free agent that worked his way to the NHL after playing 298 AHL games and 38 ECHL games. The 26-year-old exploded onto the scene in 2017-18, scoring 25 goals and 39 assists (64 points) in 82 games. Gourde will turn 27 in December, so this contract will take him through his age-33 season.

The Lightning have signed Yanni Gourde to a two-year extension worth $2.0M ($1.0M AAV).

Gourde, 25, had eight points (6G / 2A) in 20 games with the Lightning this season and had 48 points (22G / 26A) in 56 games while with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL). Gourde’s new deal is a one-way deal, so the undersized winger will likely start the year in Tampa Bay.

The Lightning have recalled Yanni Gourde from Syracuse (AHL).

Gourde, 25, has registered 20 goals and 23 assists (43 points) in 53 games with Syracuse this season—that ranks third on the team. There is no word whether or not he will be in the lineup on Monday. The Quebec native has failed to record a point in two NHL games this season.

The Lightning have recalled Yanni Gourde from Syracuse (AHL).

Gourde, 25, appeared in two games with the Lightning last season, but this is his first call-up of 2016-17. Gourde has 10 goals and 16 assists (26 points) in 29 games with Syracuse. He could make his season debut tonight with Vladislav Namestnikov and Brayden Point both leaving last night’s game with injuries.
