The Nashville Predators have added a forward to their roster, hoping to insulate themselves from the recent string of injuries that team has been facing. On December 3, Reid Boucher was claimed off waivers from the New Jersey Devils and was forced to awkwardly walk down the hallway to the Nashville Predators locker-room, shortly before the two teams faced off.
The Lansing, Michigan native has been successful at nearly every level of hockey. However, he has had a tough time cracking the code to production in the NHL.
Minor-League Success
Boucher was taken 99th overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2011 after 2 years in the United States development program.
