Bourque notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
Bourque's 13:48 of ice time Monday was his most in a game since Nov. 18. The 22-year-old remains on the fourth line, but with the Stars carrying just 12 forwards currently, his place in the lineup is secure. Bourque has a modest six points with 19 shots on net, 13 blocks and a plus-2 rating over 25 appearances in 2024-25.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
The Stars' fourth line combined for the team's first goal, scored by Bourque at 6:39 of the second period. It was his first tally since Nov. 1, and he had just two helpers over the 14 games in between goals. Bourque's first full NHL campaign hasn't lived up to the hype, as he has five points, 16 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 21 outings while seeing mostly bottom-six minutes.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Logs assist in loss
Rotowire
Bourque notched an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Bourque was on the third line Wednesday, though he saw just 11:29 of ice time in the blowout loss. The 22-year-old has mostly stayed in the bottom six so far, picking up four points, 13 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances. Bourque has offense in his game, but it'll be tough to unlock it in limited minutes, so he has limited fantasy value in redraft formats.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Puts up helper in loss
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
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
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
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
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.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Lands on injured non-roster
Rotowire
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.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Brought up from minors
Rotowire
Bourque was called up from AHL Texas on Wednesday.
Bourque's promotion comes after AHL Texas was eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs. The 22-year-old center racked up 26 goals and 51 helpers in 71 AHL regular-season contests before adding another 11 points in seven postseason games with Texas. Even if Bourque doesn't see much time in the Stanley Cup playoffs, he should be in the mix for a roster spot heading into the 2024-25 campaign given his offensive upside.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Returns to NHL
Rotowire
Bourque was called up from AHL Texas on Friday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The Stars had a pair of injuries Wednesday in Game 2 against the Golden Knights, as Mason Marchment and Radek Faksa each suffered undisclosed injuries. The Stars are down to 12 healthy forwards ahead of Game 3 versus Vegas on Saturday, necessitating the recall of Bourque. Bourque made his NHL debut April 6 in Chicago, managing two shots on goal in 10:56 of ice time. He led the AHL in scoring during the regular season with 77 points and is tied for the early lead in AHL playoff scoring with two goals and two assists in a pair of games.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Called up from AHL
Rotowire
Bourque was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday.
Bourque has been exceptional in the AHL this season, as he leads the league in points with 72 in 66 games. Bourque was selected in the first round -- 30th overall -- in 2020. He has little, if anything, left to prove at the AHL level and should make his NHL debut before the end of the regular season.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Grabs entry-level deal
Rotowire
Bourque penned a three-year, entry-level contract with Dallas on Monday.
Bourque has reached the 25-goal mark in each of his previous two junior seasons and will likely hit that threshold again in 2020-21. Selected by the Stars with the 30th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, another strong campaign from the 19-year-old center could see him jump straight to the NHL roster ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
