Bourque was put on waivers by the Capitals on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque is in his second stint with Washington, as he last played for them in one game during the 2009-10 season. While with AHL Hershey the past year, the 30-year-old had one of his most productive campaign on his way to 30 goals and 50 assists. If not other teams put in a claim, the winger will be assigned back to Hershey, but could be in line for a call-up or two if the Caps get bit by the injury bug.
