Evan Bouchard scored three goals and added two assists as Edmonton beat Vancouver 3-2 in overtime, becoming the first defenceman in NHL history to record five points in a season-opening game.

The 26-year-old Canadian was named first star of the match. His hat-trick and two assists gave him a season-opening haul that no blueliner had managed before him.

The outright record for any position on opening night still belongs to forward Kevin Stevens, who put up 6 points (2+4) for Pittsburgh in a 7-4 win over Washington to start the 1990/91 season.
