Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Puts up helper in loss
Mavrik 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: Earns first NHL assist
Mavrik 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
Mavrik 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.
