Reid Boucher (born September 8, 1993) is an American ice hockey player who is currently playing for Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League. He was selected by the Devils in the 4th round (99th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career

In his second season with the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, Boucher broke the former 58 goals in a season record in the team held by NHL player Steven Stamkos with his fifth hat trick in the season against Saginaw Spirit.[2] Boucher was rewarded for his outstanding play during the 2012–13 OHL season by being named to the OHL's First All-Star Team.[3]

On March 13, 2013, the New Jersey Devils signed Boucher to a three-year entry-level contract.[4][5] Reid scored one goal and had two assists in his first game with Albany in the 2012–13 season debut on March 30, 2013.[6]

On December 4, 2013, Boucher was promoted to the Devils for the first time, following an injury to Ryan Carter.[7] He got an assist and was plus 2 in his debut and became the first Devil to score in a shootout that season.[8] Boucher scored his first NHL goal on December 18, 2013 against Robin Lehner of the Ottawa Senators in a 5 - 2 win.[9]

On December 3rd, 2016, Boucher was claimed off waivers by the Nashville Predators.
