After he was able to convince there in the first half of the season, the Wings awarded it to his former club from Worcester, where he finally summed up with 24 points in 25 games foot and in March of the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League committed was . By the end of the season, he received a contract with validity for the AHL, which at the beginning of the 2014/15 season went into an NHL entry contract with a two-year term.

In the Tampas organization, Gourde was active exclusively for Syracuse in the following two seasons - with the exception of his NHL debut over two games in mid-December 2015. In the summer of 2016, the Lightning extended the expired contract for another year and appointed him again for two missions in the NHL squad at the end of December. At the beginning of the 2017/18 season, the attacker established himself in the Lightning squad and was named NHL rookie of the month in February 2018 . At the end of the season he had 64 points in 82 games, placing him third in the rookie scorer list and leading all newcomers to the league with a plus / minus rating of +34. In addition, with these 64 points, he set a new franchise record for rookies in Tampa, previously held by Brad Richards (62 points; 2000/01 season).
