Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Nets first playoff goal
Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal on five shots and added five hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 6.
Bourque's second-period tally gave the Stars a brief bit of hope before Vladimir Tarasenko responded 54 seconds later. The goal was Bourque's first career playoff point in 10 appearances, six of which came this year. He's now established as a full-time option in the Stars' lineup. The 24-year-old put up 20 goals, 41 points, 147 shots on net, 78 hits and a plus-6 rating over 82 regular-season contests and could take another step or two on offense in the coming years as he enters his prime.

Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo.
That's four goals in the last two games and seven in the last 12 for Bourque, with the late surge securing his first career 20-goal campaign. The 24-year-old heads into the postseason handling a top-six role for the Stars at even strength, but a lack of consistent power-play time still limits his appeal for playoff pools.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: First NHL hat trick
Rotowire
Bourque scored a hat trick Monday in a 6-5 win over Toronto. He also had an assist.
Bourque's third tally put the Stars ahead for good at 14:52 of the third period. He's the fifth player in Stars history to score at least three goals and four points on the road, and the first since Wyatt Johnston had five points (three goals, two assists) in a 7-6 overtime win in San Jose on March 5, 2024. Bourque has 19 goals, 21 assists and 146 shots in 81 games in his second full season in the NHL.
Bourque scored two empty-net goals on two shots and registered an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Bourque played a hand in each of the last three goals scored by Dallas on Saturday when he slid the primary helper on the team's fourth goal of the second period before scoring two empty-net tallies to seal the deal in the third. With the trio of points, the 24-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 19 assists, 130 shots on net, 65 hits and 20 blocked shots across 73 games this season. With Bourque officially playing as many games as he did in his first full year with the Stars, the sophomore forward has taken a step up in all major stat categories apart from blocks. He has become a factor for Dallas offensively with five goals and 12 points over his last 14 games. Bourque is a solid streaming option in fantasy for the time being, and his value is increasing in dynasty formats.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Nets goal in loss
Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
Bourque pulled the Stars back within a goal at 13:08 of the third period, but they couldn't find an equalizer. The 24-year-old continues to get top-line usage at even strength, but he had only two assists over his previous seven contests. For the season, he has 14 goals, 32 points, 126 shots on net, 64 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 71 appearances. He has shown significant growth after scoring 25 points in 73 regular-season games as a rookie last year. Bourque will likely move down the lineup once Mikko Rantanen (lower body) is ready to return.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Adds pair of helpers
Rotowire
Bourque logged two assists and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
He started the game on the third line, but the injury to Roope Hintz (lower body) opened the door for Bourque to move back up to the top line. The 24-year-old Bourque has nine points over his last nine games, so he's certainly earned his extra ice time. He's at 12 goals, 15 helpers, 111 shots on net, 48 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 62 appearances. Given his place in a strong lineup, Bourque is worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Goal, assist in blowout win
Rotowire
Bourque scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.
Bourque picked up his first multi-point effort since Nov. 8 in Nashville. The winger has earned four goals and three assists over his last 14 contests, which is decent work considering the Stars' fading fortunes on offense in that span. For the season, he's at eight goals, 18 points, 82 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-4 rating through 50 appearances. If he can stay on a line with Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz, Bourque is in a good position to succeed.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Scores, take five shots Sunday
Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal and took five shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
Bourque has scored three goals in the Stars' last six games, and the 23-year-old is showing signs of leaving the slump that was affecting him earlier in the year. Despite holding a top-six role in the lineup, it's hard to justify rostering Bourque outside of the deepest formats. He's notched a mere 14 points (seven goals, seven helpers) in 42 games this season.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Scores in loss to Buffalo
Rotowire
Bourque scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Sabres.
Bourque got the Stars on the board just 15 seconds into the game with a snap shot, but that would be all the offense Dallas would muster throughout the game. Bourque should continue to see opportunities to produce due to his top-six role in the lineup, but he hasn't been at his best lately. He has notched just four points (two goals, two assists) over his last 10 outings.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Bourque scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Bourque ended a 10-game goal drought with the empty-netter. He had just two assists in that span. Bourque saw 15:48 of ice time Sunday, his most in a game since Nov. 26, and he was alongside Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson in a top-six role. Bourque has yet to receive ample minutes in a prominent spot in his career, so taking advantage of this opportunity, for however long it lasts, could help his offense take off. He's at five goals, 12 points, 61 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-5 rating over 37 appearances.

Bourque scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Senators.
Bourque has chipped in two goals and an assist over his last six games. The 23-year-old forward continues to be a bit sheltered in a bottom-six role, but that's a product of the Stars having a lot of other players rolling all at once. Bourque has logged four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating through 26 appearances this season.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Strikes early in win

Bourque is up to three goals, seven points, 32 shots on net, 10 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 21 appearances. It doesn't look like he'll carve out a breakout campaign, but he could pick up the pace enough on offense to be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats.
