Gourde scored a goal on four shots, doled out four hits and added a fighting major in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Gourde mixed it up with Alex DeBrincat in a surprising fight in the third period. The 29-year-old Gourde also scored to get the Kraken within a goal late, but their comeback fell short. The Quebec native is up to eight points, 30 shots, 20 hits and seven PIM in 12 contests. He continues to play big minutes regardless of his placement in the lineup -- Gourde's physicality and solid offense make him a solid choice in fantasy.
