EDGE Analysis
Bouchard and the Oilers could not quite beat Jake Oettinger in this one, and really couldn't collectively muster enough offense, though Bouchard had four shots of his own. The blue liner now has five assists in eight games since March 5 against Montreal in what has been a breakthrough season for the 22-year-old.

Bouchard (illness) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard didn't join the Oilers on the bench for the third period. The 22-year-old probably won't miss much time with the illness, but he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's Battle of Alberta against the Flames. He posted an assist prior to his exit Saturday, giving him 29 points (nine goals, 20 helpers) through 56 appearances this season.

Bouchard logged an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard helped out on Evander Kane's game-tying goal with 50 seconds left in the third period. The helpers snapped a six-game point drought for Bouchard, who has seen his ice time plummet with new head coach Jay Woodcroft deploying seven defensemen frequently. The 22-year-old defenseman could be in for a boost in usage going forward if Tyson Barrie (upper body) is forced to miss time with the injury he suffered Thursday. Bouchard would likely take over roles on the top power-play unit and first pairing. He's at 28 points, 129 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating in 55 appearances this season, and he's been a solid contributor when given more opportunity than he's received lately.

Bouchard recorded a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard helped out on Evander Kane's first-period tally, which helped the Oilers turn things around after a slow start. The 22-year-old Bouchard has been steady with eight points, including three on the power play, in his last 12 outings. The defenseman is up to nine goals, 18 assists, 115 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 48 appearances in his first full season.

Bouchard notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard helped out on tallies by Warren Foegele and Connor McDavid in this contest. This snapped a four-game point drought for Bouchard. It appears the 22-year-old has some work to do to win over head coach Jay Woodcroft -- his two lowest ice time totals have come in the two games since Dave Tippett was fired. Bouchard has enjoyed a breakout season with 26 points, 110 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 46 appearances.
