Yanni Gourde A Game-Time Call On Tuesday
3 mins agoSeattle Kraken center Yanni Gourde (abdomen) is viewed as a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Wild. The 33-year-old has been sidelined since January 2 after undergoing sports hernia surgery. Over his previous 10 contests before the injury, Gourde found the back of the net three times and added three helpers. During this stretch, he logged 20 hits and 10 blocked shots. Through 35 total contests, Gourde has scored six goals and added 10 assists. However, he has found value in leagues that reward hits as he tallied 58 with 26 blocked shots during this span. If the 33-year-old were to re-enter the starting lineup on Tuesday evening, he will likely replace Ben Meyers. Given the time he missed, he will be a high-risk play in DFS as the team may monitor his ice time as he returns to NHL action.
