• Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Puts up helper in loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Bourque recorded an assist and a team-high five shots on goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks. Bourque has been scratched a couple of times this season, though that's just part of the process for a rookie that's trying to find his game at the NHL level. The 22-year-old has been limited to three points, 12 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 11:07 of ice time over 12 contests. Bourque's offense is likely to be limited in a fourth-line role with minimal power-play time, so his fantasy value is lower in redraft leagues than it is in dynasty.

• Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Scores first goal overseas

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Bourque scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers in Finland. Bourque's first NHL tally was scored during the NHL Global Series. The 22-year-old has picked up two points, four shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through his first six games this season. Bourque could be in line for a bigger role moving forward if Tyler Seguin (lower body) misses time beyond Saturday's contest.

• Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Earns first NHL assist

  10/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bourque provided an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. Bourque was sidelined by an undisclosed injury for the first week of the campaign, which may explain his slow start. The 22-year-old has one assist, one shot on net and four blocked shots over four contests so far, and he began Tuesday's game in a fourth-line role. If Bourque's struggles continue, he may return to AHL Texas, where he was the AHL MVP in 2023-24 after a 26-goal, 77-point campaign, though any such demotion would likely be to help him rebuild confidence.

• Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Playing Tuesday

  10/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bourque (undisclosed) will be in action against San Jose on Tuesday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports. Bourque will make his season debut after missing the opening three games of the 2024-25 campaign due to his undisclosed injury. The 22-year-old Quebec native should slide into a third-line center role, which will likely see Wyatt Johnston move to the wing while Jamie Benn will be dropped from the lineup. With just one game of NHL experience, Bourque is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch or spend some time in the minors.

• Stars' Mavrik Bourque: May play this weekend

  10/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach Peter DeBoer hopes that Bourque (undisclosed) is able to play this weekend, despite the forward missing practice Friday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. Bourque did manage to skate before practice Friday. The 22-year-old rookie was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday as he has been dealing with his injury since the latter days of September. The Stars play at home to the Islanders and Seattle on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Should Bourque not be able to play, their following game is Tuesday at home versus San Jose.
