Bolduc inked a one-year, two-way contract with Ottawa on Friday.
Bolduc failed to get into an NHL game last year, spending the entirety of the campaign in the minors. In his 68 regular-season games for AHL Ontario and AHL Belleville, the 2019 second-round pick managed six goals and 25 assists. Unless he can improve his offensive upside, Bolduc is unlikely to see much in the way of NHL minutes in 2026-27 either.
