Bourque has not played since taking a puck to the face on Sunday but willreturn to action on Friday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 23-year-old Bourque has started to find his game at the NHL level, with seven points (4G / 3A) in his last 14 games after only scoring seven (2G / 5A) in his first 33. Colin Blackwell will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Bourque's return to the lineup.
