“Whether it’s him or anything else ... I’ll bring Santa Claus if we have to,” Boucher said. “Whatever we need.”
Old St. Nick couldn’t have been worse than the five guys in red who allowed Jori Lehtera and Kenny Agostino to stroll in alone on back-to-back chances during the second minute of the game.
