Impact Gourde missed Friday's game versus the Devils with bumps and bruises, but it turned out to be a short-term issue as expected.

Gourde is up to five goals, 13 points, 33 shots on net, 34 PIM, 40 hits and a minus-2 rating through 28 appearances this season. He'll carry a little extra fantasy intrigue as long as he's playing in a top-six role, but he's mostly a defensive forward, so he'll likely end up in the bottom-six again at some point.

Impact Gourde continued a run of steady offense. He has three goals and four assists over his last nine contests, and he hasn't gone more than one game without a point in that span. The 32-year-old forward is up to 10 points, 29 shots on net, 38 hits, 32 PIM and 16 blocked shots across 24 appearances this season.

Two points against Isles Gourde scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact The veteran center was credited with the first tally of the night midway through the first period, when Brandon Tanev's shot deflected in off Gourde as he tries to cause chaos in the crease.

Through 18 games, he's managed only six points with 30 PIM, 26 hits, 21 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.
