FLORENCE, SC â The ECHL announced today that Pee Dee Pride goaltender Nick Boucher is the Reebok Hockey/ECHL Saver of the Week for December 6-12. This is the second time in the last three weeks that Boucher has received the weekly honor, and he joins Wheeling's Dany Sabourin as two-time recipients this season.
Boucher earned shutouts in both Pride games last weekend. On Friday, he turned aside all 34 Augusta shots for his second consecutive road shutout in Pee Dee's 3-0 victory, and on Saturday he stopped 25 Louisiana shots in the Pride's 4-0 win.
Entering this week, Boucher has a road shutout streak of 161:39 and an overall shutout streak of 147:20.

The Pride are back in action Friday, hosting the South Carolina Stingrays at 7:30 p.m. Prior to the game the Pride will hold a food drive to benefit the Manna House. All fans are encouraged to bring a canned-food item with them to the game to help out the less fortunate this holiday season.
