Bouchard Ends It on the Power Play in Edmonton's OT Win
The Oilers blueline leader in ice time finds the twine in overtime to beat Minnesota 4-3 at Rogers Place.
Evan Bouchard played the most minutes of any Oilers skater and finished the job in overtime. His power-play goal at 3:32 of the extra period gave Edmonton a 4-3 win over Minnesota.
His ice time was 28:17 across 31 shifts, first among the team's 18 skaters and first among its six defencemen. That is above his season average of 25.6 minutes a game.
All of his points came with the man advantage: 1 goal and 1 assist on the power play, none at even strength. He put 3 shots on goal, one of them at even strength, and attempted seven shots at even strength in all. He had 1 giveaway, no hits and no blocks, and finished -1.
It was a typical offensive night by his own standards: he now has 7 goals and 11 assists through 9 games. The game-winner came on the power play, where he has 1 goal this season.
