Bourque - who was plucked in the sixth round in 2015 - has split this season between the Rimouski Oceanic and Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL. He's posted a combined 15 goals and 51 points - second and fifth, respectively, among defensemen in those categories.
In 245 career games, he has 40 goals and 144 points.
