Narrative:
After departure; during initial climb; accelerating from 200-250 kts in clean configuration. Wings were level heading 360 approaching 6;000 ft. The right engine had a loud bang and the aircraft yawed to the right. Itt spiked; warnings (rt engine oil pressure; rt engine flameout) continuous ignition activated; N1 & N2 deceleration. Performed emergency action card 'engine fire or severe engine damage' checklist and cfm in-flight engine shutdown and single engine approach and landing checklists. Briefed flight attendant's and passengers. Performed overweight landing approximately 77;000 lbs at softest possible touchdown rate. Stopped aircraft and taxied off runway and arff assessed the engine with thermal cameras. They informed us the engine was 'cool' and nothing was leaking from the engine. We taxied to gate and deplaned passengers. Line maintenance met us at the gate and found visible damage at the exhaust end of the engine.suggestions:pilots following proper warm-up and cool-down procedures with the engines. Shorter time between overhauls on engines. Increased engine inspections by mx.
