Stars promote Bourque from AHL

There's a new Mavrik in Dallas, and he doesn't play basketball.

The Dallas Stars recalled top prospect Mavrik Bourque from the AHL's Texas Stars on Friday, the team announced.

The 22-year-old has produced a league-leading 72 points in 66 games with Texas this season. He's yet to make his NHL debut, but could get a chance Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Dallas selected Bourque 30th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Bourque is the second promising AHL standout to earn a call-up from the Stars this season. Fellow top prospect Logan Stankoven has tallied 13 points in 18 games with the big club.
