Evan Bouchard of the Edmonton Oilers scored two goals and added an assist in a game against the Anaheim Ducks, becoming only the second defenseman in NHL history to have at least six goals through the first four games of a season. The Oilers turned a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 victory by scoring five goals in the second period alone. Bouchard’s historic performance helped Edmonton secure their third consecutive win despite an initial sluggish start, while Beckett Sennecke scored two power-play goals for Anaheim before his team lost for the first time in three games.

Story summary
On Wednesday night in Anaheim, Calif., Evan Bouchard made NHL history by scoring two goals and assisting another, giving him six goals in his first four games as a defenseman — only the second player to achieve this milestone after Harry Cameron over a century ago. The Edmonton Oilers dominated the Ducks, winning 5-2 with a five-goal surge in the second period. Bouchard’s performance was pivotal; he tied the game early in the second and then gave Edmonton the lead soon after.

The Oilers’ win extended their winning streak to three games, while the Ducks faced their first loss in three outings.
