Boucher, selected 10th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2021 NHL entry draft, definitely got a bit of a jump on Boudreau for the fight. He also keeps throwing punches while Boudreau is clearly no longer in a position to do so. At the same time, he was attempting to pick up for a teammate. So far, no suspension has been announced for Boucher for the check to the head.
Did Boucher deserve the suspension?
