EDGE Analysis

Bouchard is up to three points in four contests, and he's averaging 19:17 of ice time per game. The 22-year-old defenseman has a plus-3 rating and nine blocked shots, so he's contributing on both offense and defense. While he's still on the third pairing, it may not take much more for him to earn a more advanced role as the season progresses.
