Boucher, 31, has posted a record of 23-16-1 with a 2.47 goals-against average, a .917 save percentage and four shutouts in 42 appearances with the Philadelphia Phantoms this season.
To replace Boucher, the Flyers have reassigned Martin Houle to the Phantoms from Wheeling (ECHL).
In 220 career NHL games, Boucher has posted a 77-96-30 record with a 2.79 GAA and an .897 save percentage, along with 13 shutouts. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, he has an 11-8 mark with a 2.07 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage with one shutout in 21 games.
The native of Woonsocket, R.I., won a Calder Cup championship with Philadelphia in 1998, and was originally selected in the first round (22nd overall) in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.
