Evan Bouchard A Game-Time Call On Saturday
1 month agoEdmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard (lower body) is considered a game-time call for Saturday's meeting with Vegas. He suffered a lower-body injury near the end of Thursday's battle against Minnesota and didn't hit the ice for practice on Friday. Bouchard finished Thursday's 7-1 win with two assists to jump to 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) for the season. In 29 games, he's fired off 70 shots and boasts 46 blocks, which ranks Bouchard second on the team. Alec Regula, who was waived by Boston earlier in the week, is expected to take Bouchard's spot in the lineup if he isn't available for Saturday's game. Darnell Nurse figures to be Bouchard's replacement on the first power-play unit.
