The Edmonton Oilers are starting to string wins together, and Bouchard has been playing to his identity offensively. Over his last five game segment he contributed 0G-5A. He's coming off a 3 assist game in the Oilers comeback win vs Seattle. Bouchard is also a (+3) in the segment.
He's logging a ton of ice time - averaging 23:54 TOI for the year - 21:14 ES - 2:40 PP. He very rarely penalty kills. In fact, his defensive detail (and commitment to reads / reacts / gaps / contain) has ranged wildly. His offense wins out overall. But as the games get harder and harder as the season progresses he will need to be more crisp in his zone. Monitor defensive detail in relation to offensive production.
