NBC’s Brian Boucher on overtime hockey and the Rangers-Senators series

There is no telling which team will win Game 1 of the Rangers-Senators Eastern Conference semifinal. But there is one safe bet about Thursday’s contest in Ottawa: Expect overtime.

Such is the price – or benefit, depending on how you look at it – of having Brian Boucher serve as the “inside-the-glass” analyst on CNBC. (He also will work Game 2 on NBC on Saturday.)

The guy, quite simply, is an overtime magnet. He worked seven games across five series in the first round, and six went to overtime – a total of 108 minutes and 21 seconds of extra action.
