Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Bourque has three goals and two assists over his last eight contests. He stretched the Stars' lead to 3-0 in this game. The 23-year-old rookie's up to 12 points, 43 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-1 rating over 41 appearances this season. Bourque still has a decent amount of upside, but his level of production makes him a fringe option in standard fantasy formats, even with the recent uptick.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Provides helper Monday
Rotowire
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: 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.
