Pierre-Marc Bouchard News
The National Hockey League has suspended Minnesota Wild winger Pierre-Marc Bouchard for two games due to a stick infraction during last night's 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bouchard will miss Monday afternoon's game against the New York Islanders, and Tuesday night's contest in Ottawa.

Bouchard will miss the next two games due to a "bad accident". Last season he fully recovered from concussion-like symptoms, to post 12 goals and 38 points through 59 games. Expect him to improve on those tallies with Guillaume Latendresse on his line all year.

Bouchard looked like the Bouchard of old, skating elusively through traffic, stickhandling by defenders and setting up play after play. Best yet, he showed immediate chemistry with potential linemates Guillaume Latendresse and Matt Cullen.

Bouchard sounds fine to draft and should be a useful fantasy hockey player. The versatile forward scored 12 goals and 38 points last season in only 59 games.

"Look at Pierre-Marc Bouchard. He hasn't had an opportunity to fully train the last two summers because of the head injury. He was healthy all summer, was able to train, was able to skate, was able to enjoy his life. He's come to camp a completely different player.

The former 8th overall pick has potential to post 60 points if fully healthy. His 12 goals and 38 points in only 59 games prorate to 17 goals and 53 points over a full 82-game season
