There's a chance that Pierre-Marc Bouchard is not in Sunday's lineup for the Wild against Detroit.

Bouchard was already made a healthy scratch once this week and he turned up feeling under the weather Saturday, forcing him to miss practice. The team is also excited to get rookie Jason Zucker into their lineup, meaning there's a good chance Bouchard won't be dressed.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard didn't practice on Saturday due to an illness.

Bouchard is questionable for Sunday's contest. He has two goals and three points in 13 games this season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins might have interest in Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Devin Setoguchi.

Penguins GM Ray Shero was at the Minnesota Wild's contest against the Colorado Avalanche and he's believed to be interesting in adding a top-six forward. Bouchard and Setoguchi have both gotten off to rough starts with Minnesota this season and might benefit from the change in scenery. Additionally, the Wild might be interested in shaking things up after a sluggish start to the season and both their general manager and coach have former ties to the Penguins. This is still all speculation, but Bouchard or Setoguchi would get a boost in Pittsburgh as either one of them would probably get a chance to play with either Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard has been taken off the first power play unit.

It has been straight downhill for Bouchard who started the season as a top-six forward before being moved down to the fourth line and is now off the top power play. He is pointless in his last six and has only one goal in his last 11 games. Reserve him or better yet drop him if you are able to.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard will remain on the fourth line Monday despite playing a lot better on Saturday.

Bouchard missed the last half of the season in 2011-12 with a concussion but will not use that as an excuse as he has only one goal and no assists in his past 10 games. "There has to be some understanding on both sides that it might take him a little while to get his game," coach Mike Yeo said, adding that sitting out during the lockout did not help. "But at the same time, at this time of year, we're forced to put the best lineup on the ice, one that gives us the best chance to win." Stay tuned as Bouchard has the offensive game to turn things around.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard, who has one goal and one assistin the past nine games, will be delivered a message by dropping to the Minnesota Wild's fourth line today alongside two of the following three forwards -- Mike Rupp, Zenon Konopka and Torrey Mitchell.

The Wild will play the Nashville Predators today and management and coaches are unhappy with the team's 4-5-1 start. "We have too many good players for it not to turn," Minnesota general manager Chuck Fletcher said. "Obviously players are struggling with confidence right now. Things will turn, they always do. Players will play to their level."

Pierre-Marc Bouchard netted his 100th career goal on Tuesday.

Bouchard reached the milestone in style, netting the game-winning goal with just 5:09 left in the third period of Minnesota's 3-2 victory over Columbus. He's trying to rebound after being limited to a mere 97 contests over his previous three campaigns due to concussions.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard (concussion) is officially off the injured reserve list.

Bouchard hasn't played in an NHL game in over a year, but he should be on the ice for the Wild's opener on Saturday. He had nine goals and 22 points in 37 games in 2011-12. He might be worth taking very late in standard drafts, but keep in mind that he's a serious gamble.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard (concussion) looked great in practice on Sunday.

It has been more than a year since he last laced up the skates in an NHL game but coach Mike Yeo said that Bouchard looked terrific. He also said that Bouchard was not shying away from contact. While Bouchard will always be a huge injury risk, he is worth selecting late in deep pools.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard said he is "pretty much symptom-free" and says he is targeting Minnesota's first game of the season for his return from a concussion.

Bouchard is slated to talk with the Wild doctors, trainers and GM Chuck Fletcher this week to plan what happens at training camp. He still needs to be cleared for contact before he can fully participate though. "My guess is training camp will be my last test," Bouchard said. "It'll be intense, I'll be able to get into physical stuff, game-like situations, but I still don't know."
