The Philadelphia Flyers have reportedly acquired goaltender Brian Boucher from the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes also send defenseman Mark Alt to Philadelphia in exchange for forward Luke Pither. This will be Boucher's fourth stint with the organization and he should serve as the backup to starter Ilya Bryzgalov .

Brian Boucher (shoulder) has been skating with some of the locked-out Flyers players. Boucher has surgery over the summer and was expected to return from his injury in November or December. Obviously that timetable ended up being moot due to the lockout.

Brian Boucher is expected to be sidelined for four to six months because he needs to undergo shoulder surgery. "It's certainly a setback for us," Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said. "We will have to deal with it as we go along." The Hurricanes may explore their options in free agency to find a backup for Cam Ward going into next year. Boucher appeared in just 10 games last season after a severe groin injury in early December kept him on the shelf until March.

Brian Boucher surrendered 3 goals on 25 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night. Boucher was given the start in the final game of the season for the Hurricanes, who rested star goalie Cam Ward. Ward recently hit the 30-win mark and with the Hurricanes out of contention was given a night off.

Brian Boucher will start in Saturday's game. Cam Ward will get the final game off after reaching the 30-win mark on Thursday. Boucher has a 1-5-1 record, 3.45 GAA, and .881 save percentage in nine games.

Brian Boucher allowed 5 goals on 31 shots in a 5-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. With the Carolina Hurricanes on the outside of the playoff picture Brian Boucher earned a rare start. Tonight was only the 9th time Boucher has started for the Hurricanes. If you are desperate for goalie wins you might be better suited looking elsewhere, as Boucher has only 1 win on the season.

Brian Boucher will be the Carolina Hurricanes' starting goaltender on Saturday. Boucher finally earned his first win of the season on March 17. He has a 3.23 GAA and .887 save percentage in eight games this season.

Brian Boucher kicked out 23 of 26 shots in a 5-3 victory Saturday. Boucher surrendered two goal on 10 shots in the second period. Boucher missed a large chunk of the season due to a groin injury and this consequently was his first win of the 2011-12 campaign.

Brian Boucher (groin) is healthy enough to serve as the Hurricanes' backup goaltender on Saturday. Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller doesn't have a game in mind for when Boucher will start. Boucher hasn't played between the pipes since Dec. 3. Boucher also revealed that he suffered the same injury in 2006, only it was on his other side. Based on his previous experience, he's not surprised that he ended up missing months.

Brian Boucher is close to returning from his lower-body injury, but he'll likely spend some time in the minors on a conditioning assignment when he's ready. "It's been a while and he needs some playing time," said coach Kirk Muller. "But the first step is him getting that green light to be physically ready, Then he has to be ready mentally." Boucher has been sidelined since early December, but he was on the ice during Wednesday's practice.
