Bouchard scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard has earned a goal and seven helpers over his last six contests. His goal was his first since March 12 versus the Stars, and it was his 20th of the campaign. This is the first time the defenseman has reached that mark, and he also set a career high in points with 84 through 73 appearances. The 26-year-old has added 203 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 73 appearances. Bouchard is seven points ahead of Zach Werenski for the scoring lead among blueliners, giving the Edmonton rearguard a growing case for Norris Trophy consideration.

Bouchard notched three assists, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
One of Bouchard's helpers was on a Matt Savoie shorthanded goal. The 26-year-old Bouchard had a hand in all three of the Oilers' goals in the second period, which helped decide the game. The defenseman has matched his career high of 82 points from the 2023-24 regular season, and he has 10 games left to add to his totals. He's added 201 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating, which has made him well worth the early-round investment fantasy managers needed to get him back in the fall.

Bouchard scored a goal and fired six shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard put the Oilers on the board at 7:53 of the second period to cut the deficit to four goals. His tally brought him up to 19 goals, 76 points, 184 shots on net and 87 blocked shots across 66 games this season. While the Oilers have had an up-and-down start to their post-Olympic break action, the 26-year-old blueliner has excelled offensively with 16 points during his nine-game point streak. He leads all NHL defensemen in points by eight, and despite playing on a stacked offense, he has carried his weight in the offensive third. He's on pace to shatter his career-best mark of 82 points from the 2023-24 campaign, and if he continues to score steadily, Bouchard should be a candidate for this season's Norris Trophy.

Bouchard scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old blueliner has remained red hot since the Olympics, racking up two goals and six points in three games since the NHL schedule resumed.

Bouchard scored three goals on eight shots, added three assists, went plus-5 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
This was just the 24th performance of at least six points by a defenseman in NHL history, and the fourth time an Oilers blueliner has reached that mark. Paul Coffey did it twice and Kevin Lowe did it once. It was easily the best game of Bouchard's 400 career regular-season outings. He's racked up seven goals and 11 assists over 12 contests in January, and he's up to 14 goals, 55 points, 142 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 53 appearances. Bouchard's defense sometimes gives the Edmonton faithful fits, but games like Saturday are a great reminder why it's easier to root for him in fantasy.
