In just his second season within the HC Lada Togliatti organization, Guryanov was recalled from the Minor Hockey League to make his professional debut in the 2014–15 KHL season.[1] On 4 September 2014, he appeared in his first KHL contest as a 17-year-old in a 5–2 defeat to HC Ugra.[2] He would dress in 8 games over the campaign recording 1 assist. He was included among the top prospects European rankings approaching the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He 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 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 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 August 20th, 2020, Gurianov scored 4 goals in the Stars' 7–3 win over the Calgary Flames to advance to round two of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs. He is the first player in Stars history to score 4 goals in one playoff game.

On 14 September 2020, Gurianov scored the overtime winner against the Vegas Golden Knights in game five of the Western Conference Final, sending Dallas to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2000.
