Normal takeoff; level off at 10;000 feet. Clearance to 17;000 feet; at 10;500 feet Right Engine Flameout caution message. Reference QRH; two items. Thrust lever confirm and idle and engine instruments monitor auto relight. The caution message did go away although N2 was below 40%. After approximately 45 seconds I advanced the thrust levers slightly to monitor auto relight. While all this was going on the flight attendant called the flight deck; I did answer and told her we were returning to ZZZ. Also talking to ATC and getting vectors and a decent. The First Officer did a great job; after running the checklist and setting up the cockpit for the return; I also had him call OPS; and let the folks know we were returning. I did fail to mention to test the flight attendants. Normal landing and taxi in.
Around 10;500 feet we had a Right Engine Flame Out with auto relight. Performed checklists and returned back to the field.
CRJ-900 flight crew reported an engine flameout resulting in an Air Turn Back and a precautionary landing.
