The Tampa Bay Lightning signed forward Yanni Gourde to a six-year extension worth $14 million on Monday.
Gourde, 33, was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Gourde played the final 21 games of the season in Tampa after the club reacquired him from the Seattle Kraken in a three-team trade on March 5. The Lightning lost Gourde when the Kraken selected him in the 2021 expansion draft.
Gourde combined for 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) for the Kraken and Lightning in 57 games in 2024-25. Gourde added an assist in five playoff games for the Lightning.
He missed two months of the regular season after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia in January.
Gourde has 347 points (133 goals, 214 assists) in 602 career games, with all but 52 of those goals with the Lightning. He spent his first six NHL seasons in Tampa and won back-to-back Stanley Cup titles in 2020 and 2021.
