Gourde scored an empty-net goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Gourde set up Adam Larsson on a counterattack for what stood as the game-winning goal Sunday. The 29-year-old Gourde also helped seal the win with an empty-netter. He's up to five tallies, five assists, 33 shots on net, 20 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 14 contests. The versatile forward should continue to see top-six minutes even if he floats around the lineup.
