Dallas Stars center Mavrik Bourque (face) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Kings. The young forward was struck in the face by a puck last Sunday during a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets and missed Tuesday's matchup with the Anaheim Ducks. However, he is now good to go again. Bourque will work on the fourth line with Sam Steel and Oskar Back, replacing Colin Blackwell in the lineup. Following a prolific AHL season, Bourque has not hit the same heights during the 2024-25 NHL campaign and should remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues. He has managed six goals and eight assists in 47 appearances.
Dallas Stars center Mavrik Bourque (face) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks. He took a puck to the face in Sunday's matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets and will sit out at least one game, with Colin Blackwell stepping into the lineup as Bourque's replacement. Bourque has picked up 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 47 games during his rookie campaign. With Mikael Granlund now in Texas, the 23-year-old may see reduced usage moving forward. Blackwell has recorded 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 46 games. He returns to the lineup in a fourth-line role, limiting his fantasy value.
Dallas Stars center Mavrik Bourque (lower body) could be ready for his season debut this weekend. After sustaining a lower-body injury in training camp, Bourque was unavailable for Thursday's season opener against Nashville. However, he was able to skate on Friday, and Stars head coach Pete DeBoer is hopeful that the 22-year-old can feature in a game over the weekend. Dallas faces the Islanders on Saturday and Seattle on Sunday. The Stars are already looking stacked up front, but Bourque's addition will give the offense a further boost. He was the AHL's top scorer last season with 77 points (26 goals, 51 assists) in 71 games.
Dallas Stars forward Mavrik Bourque will enter the lineup on Sunday against Edmonton for his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut. With the team down 3-2 in the Western Conference Final, Stars head coach Pete DeBoer inserts a bit more offensive talent into the lineup in the shape of Bourque, who was voted the AHL MVP this season. Bourque, who was selected 30th in the 2020 draft, exploded for 77 points (26 goals, 51 assists) in 71 games in the American Hockey League. The 22-year-old takes Ty Dellandrea's spot in the lineup.
