Bourque (undisclosed) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Bourque has been dealing with a minor injury since late September, and even though he returned to practice last week, he'll be forced to miss the start of the regular season. The 22-year-old tallied 77 points over 71 appearances with AHL Texas last year en route to AHL MVP honors, and he could have a middle-six role for Dallas once he's healthy.
