Bouchard also registered Secondary Assistance to Leon Draisaitl’s power goal, which opened the score in the first period. The veteran defender has now attended each of his last two games.

In a team that also has talent like Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, it is extremely impressive to see that Bouchard is one of the team’s main offensive producers this season. Bouchard is still sensational at both ends of the ice, which is enormous for a team of Oilers seeking to make a Stanley Cup again.

The New Jersey Devils have been needed for a franchise goalkeeper for several seasons. Finally, the team landed one on a commerce out of season with Calgary’s flames, while Jacob MarksTrom headed for the garden state.
