Bourque won't play Friday against the Avalanche, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque has now missed Nashville's last nineteen games with an upper-body injury, but returned to practice Monday, indicating he's likely nearing a return to action. The 25-year-old winger is still on injured reserve, however, meaning the Predators' should announce his activation once he's fit to play.
