Interestingly, Brian Boucher beat out Rick DiPietro for a goaltending gig with EV Zug of the Swiss Elite League.
Boucher's NHL career (likely) ended on a down note, with a .891 save percentage and 2.50 GAA in his four games playing for the Philadelphia Flyers in 2013. Still, he's enjoyed an interesting journeyman career that continues in Europe.

Brian Boucher turned aside 25 of 28 shots in a 4-1 defeat on Saturday.
It was Boucher's first start of the season. Look for the Flyers to go back to Ilya Bryzgalov on Monday.

There is a strong possibility that Brian Boucher will get the start against Montreal Saturday night.
Ilya Bryzgalov was the loser in a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Devils Friday night and could use the day off.

Updating a previous post, Brian Boucher won't start in net Tuesday after all.
Ilya Bryzgalov, who was pulled during the second period Monday, will start instead. Boucher had been reported as the likely starter earlier Tuesday after Bryzgalov allowed four goals in 26 minutes Monday. Boucher will back up Bryzgalov until Michael Leighton is healthy.

Brian Boucher is expected to get the start in goal Tuesday night.
The Flyers are giving Ilya Brygalov a night off after their top goalie surrendered four goals in 26 minutes before being pulled in favor of Boucher on Monday night. Bryzgalov owners in daily leagues will want to rest him if they can. Boucher is only up with the Flyers because of an injury to Michael Leighton and only has value if Bryzgalov were to suffer an injury.

Michael Leighton is injured, so the Philadelphia Flyers recalled Brian Boucher on Sunday.
He'll back up Ilya Bryzgalov, and if this season's patterns are any indication, Boucher won't see a ton of time. He's not worth an add unless Breezy gets banged up or falters, and even then, it would likely just be a short-term thing.

Philadelphia has placed Brian Boucher on waivers.
Boucher was acquired from Carolina on Sunday and he will probably head down to AHL Adirondack. With him gone the Flyers appear to be set to use Michael Leighton as their backup.
