Bouchard scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.

Bouchard tied the game at 3-3 with his tally at 16:18 of the third period. The defenseman had been held off the scoresheet in the first three games of the season. He's added five blocked shots, seven shots on net and a minus-1 rating while playing big minutes on the Oilers' top pairing. After operating just above a point-per-game pace in 2023-24, the slow start is a disappointment, but Bouchard has the talent and a strong supporting cast to turn things around quickly.
