Reid Boucher News

Boucher has a great shot that helps him continue to post strong numbers in the AHL, but the NHL results still aren’t there. In 2018, the 24-year-old winger had 46 points (25G / 21A) in 45 games with Utica (AHL) but picked up just three goals and two assists in 20 games with Vancouver. He will continue to be a quality depth winger for the Canucks for at least one more season.

Boucher has collected two goals in eight games with the Canucks this season and he will draw in vs. the Coyotes with Brock Boeser likely out for the rest of the season.

Boucher failed to record a point in three games with Vancouver earlier this year, but leads the Comets in that category with 41 (22G / 19A) in 38 games this season. He is expected to replace Brendan Gaunce tonight.

Boucher has been recalled to serve as a extra forward because Markus Granlund was banged up on Monday.The 24-year-old has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 10 games with the Comets so far this season—he has just 37 points (17G / 20A) in 112 career NHL games.

A day after being re-claimed off of waivers from Nashville, the Devils placed Boucher on waivers again and now he’s found a job in western Canada with the Canucks. The former fourth round pick (2011) had 62 goals and 33 assists (95 points) in 68 games in his final year in the OHL and had 32 points (19G / 13A) in 34 AHL games last season, showcasing his offensive ability, but he now needs to find that game at the highest level.

Boucher started the year with the Devils, where he collected two assists in nine games before being put on waivers and being claimed by Nashville on December 3rd. He only appeared in three games with the Predators and recorded one goal. He returns to New Jersey, where he has 11 goals and 18 assists (20 points) in 82 games.

Boucher has appeared in just nine games with the Devils this season. Boucher has been an accomplished scorer at lower levels, including 32 points (19G / 13A) in 34 games with Albany (AHL) last year.

Boucher, 22, split the 2015-16 campaign between New Jersey and Albany (AHL). During his time in the NHL, Boucher recorded 19 points (8G / 11A) in 39 games and had 32 points (19G / 13A) in 34 AHL games. Boucher should spend the entire 2016-17 campaign with New Jersey.

Boucher, 22, has two goals and one assist in eight games with the Devils this season. In his time with Albany, he is third in the team with 29 points (17G / 12A) in 32 contests.

Boucher was sent down yesterday because the Devils needed to make room to recall Yann Danis as their backup. With Cory Schneider set to return on Friday, Danis has been reassigned and Boucher is back with the Devils.

Boucher had no points in the season opener and then he was a healthy scratch on Saturday. He will head down to Albany to get some playing time.

Boucher, 21, has scored four goals with five assists in 20 games with Albany this season. He failed to record a point in three games during his first stint with the Devils this season. He has seven points (2G / 5A) in 26 career NHL games.
