He was included among the top prospects European rankings approaching the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and was selected 12th overall by the Dallas Stars in the Draft.

On 12 May 2016, Gurianov terminated his contract with Lada Togiliatti and signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League.[3] He was assigned to the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League for the 2016–17 AHL season. Gurianov made his NHL debut on 8 April 2017, against the Colorado Avalanche.[4]

After attending the Stars training camp and development camp, Gurianov was assigned to the Texas Stars to begin the 2018–19 AHL season.[5] On 7 November, Gurianov was recalled to the NHL.[6] He recorded his first career NHL goal on 10 November from a redirect of Ben Gleason's shot in the third period to give the Stars a one goal lead over the Nashville Predators. The Stars would lose the game to the Predators in overtime, 5–4.[7] He was reassigned the next day to the Texas Stars.[8] On 20 August 2020, Gurianov scored four goals in the Stars' 7–3 win over the Calgary Flames to advance to the second round of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs. He is the first player in Stars history to score four goals in one playoff game.[citation needed] On 14 September 2020, Gurianov scored the overtime winner against the Vegas Golden Knights in game five of the Western Conference Finals, sending Dallas to the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2000.
