Evan Bouchard dressed up as an NHL defenceman, and it ended up being the worst costume on the ice.

And it was probably for the best. The way things have been going, he likely would have freely given away whatever candy was in his loot bag to the closest opposing trick-or-treater anyway.

His Edmonton Oilers treated their way to a two-goal lead against the New York Rangers on Thursday, only to leave Rogers Place with a 4-3 overtime loss in a game where Bouchard was directly responsible for two of those goals-against, as well as ghosting his man on the decider in overtime.

Put it this way, he could have dressed up as the Invisible Man and it would have been easier on his team than having him out on the ice.

And not for the first time this season, either. Not by a long shot.
