The Edmonton Oilers will have a major salary cap crunch coming in the next few seasons with new contracts for Evan Bouchard, Connor McDavid, Stuart Skinner, and Draisaitl's raise - but that may get help from an increasing salary cap.

Bouchard has been steady since the holiday break with a goal and seven assists over his last 10 games. Five of those helpers have come with the man advantage. The 25-year-old blueliner is up to seven goals, 26 assists, 11 power-play points, 124 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 44 appearances.

Bouchard scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.
