Edmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard has taken responsibility for what he described as 'unacceptable' lapses in recent games, particularly following a disappointing 6-5 loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday.

Bouchard's struggles were evident from the start, as he tripped and allowed the Panthers to break away for a scoring opportunity. Shortly after, he took a penalty that cut short the Oilers' power play, compounding his team's difficulties.
