Bournival will hang up his skates and end his professional career.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival played in just five games last season between the AHL and NHL as a result of an undisclosed injury. The center saw action in 113 NHL games for Montreal and Tampa Bay, in which he tallied 12 goals, 10 assists and 1,231 PIM. The 27-year-old played over 200 games in the AHL as well, but it appears injuries have brought his career to an early conclusion.

Bournival (undisclosed) -- who was injured during training camp and started the year on non-roster, injured reserve -- was placed on waivers Thursday for the purpose of reassignment, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Now healthy, Bournival will link up with AHL Syracuse -- assuming he clears waivers -- where he racked up 34 points in 57 outings last season. The 26-year-old has only appeared in 24 games for the Lightning since joining the organization prior to the 2016-17 campaign and will likely spend the bulk of his time in the minors this year as well.

Bournival (undisclosed) was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he may not be on the 23-man roster for Opening Night, Bournival should headline the short list of potential call-ups throughout the season. Since joining the Lightning, the center has appeared in just 24 games, but should get an extended look sooner or later

Bournival was sporting a non-contact jersey at Friday's training camp session, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival may have the inside track to a spot on the 23-man roster, but an extended absence could put his position with the team in jeopardy. Even if he does make the roster out of camp, the center is unlikely to see regular minutes and figures to spend plenty of time in the press box.

Bournival signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Lightning on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival spent the majority of the season at AHL Syracuse, racking up 34 points -- 15 goals and 19 assists -- 57 games with the Crunch. He made a couple of brief appearances with the Lightning in 2017-18 and will likely resume the role of a borderline forward for the organization next season.

Bournival was demoted to AHL Syracuse on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival has played in just five NHL games this season in which he averaged a mere 9:21 of ice time. Unsurprisingly, the club opted to send him back to the Crunch in order to get him some additional minutes. In a swap of players, the Lightning called up Anthony Cirelli to fill out their lineup.

Bournival was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival has drawn into four games for the Lightning this season, but he has yet to tally a point for the Lightning this season while averaging less than 10 minutes of ice time per game. He should provide the team with some depth up front with a back-to-back set on tap, but he could remain in the press box if both Tyler Johnson (undisclosed) and Nikita Kucherov (upper body) are able to play.

Bournival was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival suited up for four of eight games in this NHL stint, accruing seven shots on goal and eight hits while averaging 9:21 of ice time. The 25-year-old fits well in minors, though, racking up 13 goals, 14 assists and 40 PIM in 40 AHL games this season. Barring further injuries to the Lightning's forwards, expect Bournival to stay in Syracuse.

Bournival was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bournival figures to continue flip-flopping between the NHL and AHL, as that's precisely what he's done since originally latching on with the Canadiens in 2012-13. He has yet to make his season debut at the highest level this season, though, and Matthew Peca -- who was also called up from Syracuse on Sunday -- figures to be the favorite to hold down a fourth-line spot while Ondrej Palat sits out with an undisclosed ailment.

Bournival was waived by the Lightning on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Here's a guy who has been waived multiple times since debuting with the Canadiens in 2013-14. As a result, he has no fantasy appeal.
