Montreal Canadiens defenseman, Pierre Bouchard, has made history by becoming just the fourth defenseman in NHL history to reach 30 postseason points. Bouchard achieved this milestone during the Canadiens’ recent playoff run, solidifying his place among the greats of the game.

Bouchard’s accomplishment is no small feat, as defensemen are typically not known for their offensive production in the playoffs. However, Bouchard has proven to be an exception to this rule, consistently contributing on the scoresheet throughout his career.

The 32-year-old defenseman has been a key player for the Canadiens since being drafted in the first round of the 2005 NHL Draft. Known for his strong defensive play and ability to move the puck up the ice, Bouchard has been a valuable asset to the team in both regular season and playoff games.

Bouchard’s milestone puts him in elite company, joining legends such as Paul Coffey, Al MacInnis, and Brian Leetch as the only defensemen in NHL history to reach 30 postseason points. This achievement is a testament to Bouchard’s skill and consistency on the ice, as well as his ability to perform under pressure in the playoffs.

As the Canadiens continue their playoff run, Bouchard will look to add to his impressive postseason point total and help lead his team to victory. With his name now etched in the history books alongside some of the greatest defensemen to ever play the game, Bouchard’s legacy is secure as one of the all-time greats in NHL history.
