Five players that have been electric so far this season for the Oilers
By Jim Lynch
2. Evan Bouchard
The young Evan Bouchard has played in all 20 games this season, and he has 11 points during that time. Edmonton is starting to lean on him more and more. As of right now, the young defenceman is averaging over 21 minutes a night on the ice, that is the second-best total amongst defencemen this season behind only Darnell Nurse for the team.
The Oilers are going to need to see a lot more out of Bouchard but for now, he is doing a lot of stuff correctly and even leads the team in blocked shots.
3. Connor McDavid
When I say this list comes in no particular order I do mean that because we are now finally getting to Connor McDavid. McDavid has 36 points through the first 20 games of the season, he has been unbelievable and he has made everyone around him better hence why we also see Jesse Puljujarvi and Zach Hyman in the top five for points on the team.
McDavid has been scoring some highlight-reel goals this season and already has two goal of the year candidates. The sky is the limit for the Oilers captain, but the amazing thing is his teammate is kind of upstaging him so far this year.
