Bourque will hang up his skates and call it a career, the Connecticut Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque split the 2019-20 campaign between AHL Bridgeport and Charlotte, logging a combined 53 games in which he registered five goals and seven helpers. The 29-year-old winger made one NHL appearance in his career back in 2014-15, when he got called up by the Rangers.

Bourque was traded to the Capitals on Sunday for forward Chris Brown.

EDGE Analysis

This deal involves two centers trying to push their way into relevance at the NHL level. For Bourque's part, he showcased his skills with AHL Hartford this season and registered 10 goals and 14 assists in 56 games. He's quite small at 5-foot-9 and 178 pounds, but can compensate for that since he's quick on his feet and plays solid defense.

Bourque was recalled by the Rangers from AHL Hartford on Saturday. Bourque isn't likely to see the ice for the day's game against the Capitals, but he at least gives the Rangers some talented depth.

The Rangers assigned Bourque to AHL Hartford on Sunday. Bourque, who appeared in just one game with the big club during his recent recall, rejoins Hartford's forward mix with 12 goals and 30 points in 70 AHL contests to date this season.

The Rangers recalled Bourque from AHL Hartford on Wednesday. With forwards Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarello not in line to play, look for Bourque -- who has notched 30 points in 70 AHL games this season -- to make his NHL debut on Thursday against the Senators.

Bourque was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Wednesday, Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record reports. Bourque's ability to play center probably kept in camp longer than originally thought, but he never warranted serious consideration for replacing the void down the middle felt by Derek Stepan's (leg) absence. The 23-year-old is expected to serve as one of Hartford's primary scorers this season, after recording 21 goals and 16 assists with the club a year earlier.

Bourque re-signed with the Rangers on Friday. Terms of the deal have not been released. The 23-year-old center spent last season with AHL Hartford where he posted 21 goals, 16 assists and a plus-16 rating in 74 games. The season was tremendously successful for the 2009 draft pick -- he established new career marks in games played, goals, assists and plus-minus, as well as shots (158), game-winning goals (three) and power-play goals (seven). He has increased his output in each of his three seasons in the A, and is steadily demonstrating that his dream of a bottom-six gig on Broadway is not unrealistic (some day).

Ryan Bourque was among those cut from the New York Rangers' training camp roster on Wednesday. Bourque had eight goals and 15 points in 53 AHL games last season. The Rangers also sent Josh Nicholls, Brendon Nash, and Michael St. Croix to AHL Hartford.

Ryan Bourque potted the game-winning goal in Connecticut's 3-2 win over Springfield on Sunday evening. With 14 points, Bourque had a disappointing 2011-12 campaign, his first after jumping to the pros from the QMJHL, but he's looked a little more comfortable this. He also added an assist, so he already has eight points in 13 games. Matt Gilroy also notched a goal in the win for the Whale.

Ryan Bourque potted a goal as Connecticut defeated Hershey on Friday 3-1. After two great seasons in the QMJHL, Bourque's production (14 points) in the AHL last year was a huge disappointment, so getting off good start is a nice sign for the Rangers. Matt Gilroy, Christian Thomas and Kyle Jean each had assists.
