Brian Boucher Injured

Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Brian Boucher will miss at least two weeks
due to a groin injury, according to the Arizona Republic.

Boucher was injured during a shootout on Friday night in an exhibition
game against the Minnesota Wild.

The newspaper reported that Boucher was walking very gingerly Saturday
after meeting with a team doctor. He dismissed questions about
starting his re-hab assignment in the next few days as being
unrealistic.

"This is my first groin injury so I don't know how it's going to
respond (to treatment)," Boucher told the Republic on Saturday. "I'm
very disappointed that I'm injured, but it is what it is. You have to
move on."

The injury leaves free agent signee Curtis Joseph as the number one
goaltender by default.
