Rotowire

He's up to 11 points (three on the power play), 57 shots on net, 38 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 24 contests, though his defensive issues can be overlooked as long as his offense is cooking.

Rotowire
Bouchard posted a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.
Bouchard had gone eight games without a point before earning the secondary helper on Leon Draisaitl's first-period marker.

Tyson Barrie's found a lot of success on the top power-play unit, so Bouchard's offensive ceiling will remain limited until that changes in his favor. The 23-year-old has six assists, 33 hits, 18 blocked shots, 41 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 19 contests this season.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Offers first helper
Rotowire
Bouchard recorded a shorthanded assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Bouchard's helper on a Ryan McLeod goal in the second period was the former's first point in four games this year. It's been a rough start to the campaign, as Bouchard also sports a minus-3 rating with 11 shots on net, 11 hits and two blocked shots while seeing only traces of power-play time. The 23-year-old is looking to build off of a 43-point campaign from last year, but the lack of premium minutes -- either on the power play or at even strength -- will make it tough for him to have a repeat effort.
