Bouchard currently 4th worst in the NHL for defensive zone give aways for defensemen (16) .. Nurse is 8th (14)
This matches my general impressions from watching games.. need to improve if Oilers are going anywhere.
For Comparison;
Nemo 11
Kulak 5
Barrie 4
Ceci 3
Murray 2
For the amount of ice time he gets.. Ceci's number is pretty good.
For total give aways (all zones).. Nurse is 2nd worst in the NHL for defencemen (21).. Bouchard is 6th worst (18).

Only so many pucks to go around on that pairing. Ceci just doesn’t get enough opportunities with Nurse serving pizza after pizza. The forwards need to come back, because rush plays are too high risk, high reward for my liking.
This blueline is not getting better overnight. It’ll be a work in progress all season.
