Gourde has not played since January 2nd and will miss another five-to-seven weeks after undergoing sports hernia surgery. The 33-year-old forward is averaging 15:34 time-on-ice and has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 35 games. His name has floated around trade rumors recently and his return to the lineup should coincide with the upcoming March 7th trade deadline.
Gourde's move to IR is retroactive to January 4th, meaning he's eligible to return as soon as Saturday's game in Buffalo. The Kraken also moved Joey Daccord to IR and recalled Gustav Olofsson and Cale Fleury from the AHL to take their roster spots.
Gourde was limited to only 11:32 time on ice in last Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, exiting after suffering a lower-body injury, and has not played since. The 32-year-old Gourde has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 29 games this season and had been playing well lately, scoring 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last 12 contests.

Gourde was a late scratch on Friday with the team not announcing his absence until about an hour before puck drop. Andre Burakovsky will draw back into the lineup and is expected to take Gourde's place on the Kraken's top line.
Gourde committed the hit in the third period of Thursday's game in Edmonton. Gourde was issued a five-minute major penalty for charging on the play. He will be eligible to return to the Kraken lineup for next Friday's game in St. Louis.
Gourde missed the Krakens' previous game due to an undisclosed injury and will be good to go after being expected a game-time decision Wednesday as Seattle takes on the Vancouver Canucks. The 31-year-old has been having one of his best career seasons to date, with six goals, 24 assists, 78 SOG, 44 PIMs and a +16 plus/minus through 45 games prior to the injury.

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 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 will miss Saturday's game vs. the Blue Jackets after being placed in COVID-19 protocol. Alexander True was recalled from the AHL to take Gourde's spot on the roster.
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.
