Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer announced the Stars will be without Tyler Seguin for Tuesday’s game against the San Jose Sharks.
Seguin is listed out with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day. Dallas will also be without Matt Dumba, who DeBoer said is considered week-to-week.
The Stars also got a bit of good news, as DeBoer said rookie Mavrik Bourque is set to make his season debut Tuesday after missing the first three games of the season with a lower-body injury.
After years of anticipation, Bourque, the organization’s top prospect, finally solidified a spot on the roster. Following an outstanding campaign in the AHL last season where Bourque was the league’s MVP and scoring champion, he earned a spot as one of Dallas’ top nine forwards after the retirement of Joe Pavelski.
The 22-year-old center from Quebec appeared in two games for Dallas last year, making his NHL debut on April 6 against Chicago and making his playoff debut in Game 6 against Edmonton.
In 71 AHL games last year, he totaled 77 points (26 goals and 51 assists) and became the best player in the league.
