Bourque chipped in an assist in a 5-3 loss Wednesday to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran now has 18 points in 59 games this season, which is actually his most since 2011-12 with Montreal and Calgary (24 points combined). At 35 years old, Bourque is extremely unlikely to ever reach the heights of his back-to-back 27-goal, 50-plus point seasons with Calgary from 2009-11, but it's encouraging to see a bit of improvement from him, especially on such a dismal Avalanche squad.
