Minnesota Wild Player Profiles: Pierre-Marc Bouchard

No. 96, Left Wing, Shoots left
Age 25, Born: Apr 27, 1984
Height: 5'10" Weight: 176 lbs.
Drafted eighth overall in the first round by the Minnesota Wild in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.

Strengths: Possesses outstanding ice vision which allows him to be an excellent playmaker. Is very elusive and is patient with the puck. Has outstanding stick-handling ability as well.

Weaknesses: Very small in stature compared to other forwards in the NHL and is too easily knocked off the puck. Lacks the determination to drive to the net and passes up scoring chances by passing the puck too often. Needs to be more aggressive and shoot the puck on a more regular basis.
