Bourque apparently is over his groin injury as he's gone "full speed in practice this week," the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran missed the final two games of the recent road trip due to the groin ailment, but the veteran in his 11th year should be all systems go for Friday night's home game against the Jets. However, his fantasy value is limited as he's been confined to a bottom-six role for an Avs team that is struggling to gain separation in the Western Conference.

Bourque (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Panthers, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque will miss a second consecutive game Saturday, and remains without a definitive timetable for his return to action. Those keeping tabs on the veteran winger's availability can expect an update on his status once he's slated to return to Colorado's lineup.

Bourque has been ruled out for Thursday's road game against the Lightning due to a groin injury, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first we've heard of Bourque's injury, but the veteran should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's road game against the Panthers.

Bourque secured a one-year contract with Colorado on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque joined the Avs on a PTO, but was able to show the organization enough to earn a season long deal. The 34-year-old led the team in scoring during the preseason with a goal and three helpers, with two of those points coming on the man advantage. While he is unlikely to average a point per game in the regular season, Bourque can add some much needed depth and grit to Colorado's bottom-six, although will remain limited in terms of fantasy value.

Bourque signed a professional tryout agreement with Colorado on Thursday, James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque logged 49 games for the Blue Jackets last season, but was often a healthy scratch throughout the year. In those outings, the winger garnered a paltry eight points while tabulating 38 PIM and 82 hits. At 34 years old, the veteran is probably a long shot to secure a spot on the opening day roster and is likely more of a training camp placeholder for guys participating in the World Cup of Hockey during training camp.

Bourque cleared waivers Monday, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Bourque has produced just six points and a minus-11 rating in 42 games this season. It's unclear what the next step is from here for the 34-year-old, but he didn't travel with the team to New York for Monday's contest against the Rangers.

Bourque scored a goal and an assist in just 9:21 of ice time in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Three of his four points on the season have come in the last three games. Matt Calvert's knee injury does open up a spot in the Blue Jackets' top nine, and Bourque's recent play might earn him a promotion, but even if he escapes the fourth line he's not likely to develop substantial fantasy value.

Bourque (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque has missed the Blue Jackets' last 12 games with an undisclosed ailment, but returned to the ice for Saturday's morning skate, which was the first indication that the veteran winger might be available for Saturday evening's game against the Flyers. It isn't clear if Bourque will immediately return to Columbus' lineup following his activation from IR, but if he does suit up for the Jackets' matchup with Philadelphia, he'll likely slot into a bottom-six role.

Bourque (undisclosed) will be out at least a week, Shawn Mitchell of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque reportedly was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with his undisclosed ailment. The veteran winger has really struggled this season and he currently has a minus-5 rating and one assist for his only point in 15 contests.

Bourque (undisclosed) was placed on the injured reserve list on Tuesday by the Blue Jackets, Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of Bourque's injury is unclear at this point. The 33-year-old veteran forward wasn't much of a fantasy asset this season in any case, as he has notched just a single point through 15 games played for the Blue Jackets.
