Nick Boucher's only superstition is that he's not superstitious.

At this time of the year, it seems as if nothing can knock the Komets goaltender off his game. Boucher has always been an amazing playoff goaltender, perhaps the best in Komets history and the only one with three championships. Some of his numbers are staggering.

He's 22-8 over his four-year Fort Wayne postseason career, including 6-0 in games when the Komets could be eliminated with a loss. During this recent stretch of winning nine of his last 10 playoff games, he's allowed only 2.22 goals against with a .929 save percentage.
