Bouma registered an assist through 10:07 of ice time during Wednesday's loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
After flashing offensive upside and fantasy relevance with 16 goals and 34 points during the 2014-15 campaign, Bouma has five tallies and nine helpers through 94 games over the past two seasons. You can safely ignore the 26-year-old veteran in all fantasy settings at this stage of the game.

Bouma has one point in his last 18 games and recently sat out back-to-back contests as a healthy scratch.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma followed up 2014-15's 34-point effort with a measly seven points last year, and it's been much of the same this season with three goals and two assists across 39 contests. He also threw the body a ton a few years back with 264 hits but has amassed just 93 in 2016-17, so clearly he's a different player these days -- which, to be clear, is one with little to no fantasy value regardless of format.

Bouma recorded just two points in his last 17 games, giving him just five in 33 contests this season.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma has delivered 36 hits and 20 shots on goal during that span, so he's serving his purpose as a depth forward for the Flames. Unfortunately, grinders in checking roles like Bouma don't do much to impact the fantasy world, so there aren't many settings where ownership of the 26-year-old is warranted.

Bouma scored the game-winning goal Saturday against the Coyotes. He also fired five shots on goal.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma's tally 12:38 into the first period was the third of the frame and held up as the eventual game-winner. He now has just two goals and two assists through 21 games this season and doesn't offer much by way of fantasy value given his lack of production.

Bouma will return to the lineup for Thursday night's matchup in Arizona after missing the previous 16 games with a shoulder injury, Kristen Odland of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kris Versteeg (upper body) missing Thursday's game, Bouma has drawn into the lineup as the next man up. The Alberta native is poised to retake his position on the fourth line, meaning he probably won't receive significant minutes and is unlikely to produce big numbers from a fantasy standpoint.

Bouma (shoulder) is on the Flames' IR list according to the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
It was already being reported that Bouma would experience a lengthy absence due to his shoulder injury and this move to injured reserve simply confirms it. He isn't a fantasy asset in most formats.

Bouma will not play in Sunday night's game in Anaheim and will be out of the lineup "for a couple weeks" with a shoulder injury Kristen Odland of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
With one assist and 11:36 of average ice time, Bouma hasn't made much of a splash this season, but this is mostly to be expected from the 26-year-old center who has only recorded greater than 15 points in one season. The Flames may miss his fourth-line production while he remains sidelined, but fantasy players in most formats shouldn't.

Bouma is expected to play in Wednesday night's preseason game against Arizona, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet report.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma will look to bounce back this season after he was limited to only 44 games in 2015-16 due to injuries and disciplinary issues. His career-high 34 points in 2013-14 are certainly not eye-popping numbers, but he can be at least an effective role player for Calgary this season if he can stay healthy.

Bouma pulled an oblique muscle in Tuesday's game against the Kings and will miss the remainder of the regular season, Kristen Odland of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma's injury shouldn't impact his availability for 2016-17, but it will hold him out of the remaining two games this season. His absence shouldn't impact much in the fantasy realm, but he will finish the season having notched seven points, 49 shots on goal and 31 penalty minutes while averaging 12:02 of ice time over 44 games on the campaign.

Bouma left Tuesday's game against the Kings with an upper-body injury and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
He had zero points in just over 10 minutes of ice time before exiting. With only two games remaining on the schedule for the Flames, Bouma's season could be done. Consider him day-to-day for now.
