Calgary, AB -- (Sports Network) - The Calgary Flames have acquired left wing Rene Bourque from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a conditional second-round draft choice.

Bourque, an Alberta native, notched 10 goals and 14 assists for 24 points in 62 games with Chicago last season.

"Rene is a young player with size who will play in our top nine forwards," said Flames general manager Darryl Sutter. "He will be an important part of the remaking of our left side along with other young players already under contract."

Bourque spent his first three NHL seasons with the Blackhawks and has compiled 33 goals with 42 assists for 75 points in 183 regular-season games.
