Capitals Sign Chris Bourque to One-Year Contract

The Washington Capitals have announced that they have re-signed left wing Chris Bourque to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 39 games last season with Lugano of the Swiss League, he had 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points. He also appeared in eight games with Atlant Mytischi of the KHL, scoring one goal. He last played in the NHL during the 2009-10 season with Washington. This is really just a depth signing for the Capitals, as Bourque will more than likely spend the majority of next season in the minors.
