Bouchard recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Bouchard has a goal and five helpers during his active four-game point streak. He's also gone minus-3 in that span, and his struggles defensively have not helped as the Oilers continue to flounder low in the standings. The 24-year-old blueliner is at 18 points (eight on the power play), 57 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a mius-8 rating through 18 outings.

Rotowire
Bouchard notched three assists while adding one shot on net, two blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Seattle.
It's the blueliner's first multi-point performance since Oct. 24, and his first such game of the season that wasn't boosted by any power-play production. Bouchard is building on the promise he showed over the last month-plus of the 2022-23 campaign, and through the first 15 games of the current campaign he's racked up three goals and 15 points -- approximately half of that production (one goal and six helpers) has come on the power play.

Rotowire
Bouchard logged a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Predators.
Bouchard had gone three games without a power-play point, picking up one goal in that span.

Rotowire
Bouchard posted a goal with two assists in Tuesday's 7-4 loss against the Wild.

The rearguard has managed at least one point in five of the six games to date. The three-point performance was his first since recording three assists in Winnipeg on March 4 last season. Locked into a spot on Edmonton's top pairing and first power-play unit, Bouchard appears poised to set new career highs across the board in 2023-24.

Bouchard scored a power-play goal on seven shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Bouchard's goal gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead at 6:11 of the first period. The 24-year-old's offense is right where it should be through five games -- he has a goal and four helpers, with all but one of those points coming on the power play.

Bouchard picked up helpers on Zach Hyman's goal and Leon Draisaitl's second power-play marker. This performance gives the Canadian defenseman four points in three games this season.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Produces power-play assist
Rotowire
Bouchard notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
Bouchard has a power-play helper in each of the Oilers' first two games. That aspect of the game hasn't been a problem for Edmonton, but the defense has been extremely leaky. Bouchard has a minus-4 rating and four blocked shots to go with 10 shots on goal and his two assists. He should continue to see top-four minutes and premium ice time with the team's biggest stars, but the peripheral numbers may continue to struggle if the Oilers' goaltending can't settle down.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Logs helper
Rotowire
Bouchard produced a power-play assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-3 rating in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Canucks.
Bouchard's role as the Oilers' power-play quarterback vaulted him up the draft board in most fantasy formats this year. While the Oilers' offense was quiet in their season opener, the lone goal in the loss came with the man advantage. Bouchard had 40 points in 82 contests last season, and 13 of them came on the power play. The 23-year-old blueliner should continue to be productive as a top-four option.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Re-signs with Oilers
Rotowire
Bouchard inked a two-year, $7.8 million contract with Edmonton on Thursday.
Bouchard recorded eight goals, 40 points, 156 shots, 95 hits and 77 blocks in 82 contests last season. It was the second straight campaign in which he's reached the 40-point milestone, which makes the 23-year-old defenseman's $3.9 million cap hit look like great value for Edmonton, but the tradeoff is that it's a short-term deal. If Bouchard continues to develop like he has, then he'll be in line for a massive raise at the end of this contract.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: One of each in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Bouchard scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Both of Bouchard's points came on the power play, as the Golden Knights' lack of discipline came back to bite them.

He's picked up three goals, 11 helpers, 17 shots on net, 14 hits and an even plus-minus rating, and his role on the top power-play unit should keep him productive.
