Bouchard scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Bouchard tallied in the second period, but the Oilers couldn't build on it. The defenseman had three points and 12 shots over four preseason games. He's a top-tier fantasy blueliner after breaking out to the tune of 18 goals, 82 points, 35 power-play points and a plus-34 rating in 81 regular-season contests last year. Bouchard added 32 points in 25 playoff contests, and his spot on the Oilers' vaunted top power-play unit gives him an incredibly high ceiling for 2024-25.
