Boucher made the announcement after Tampa Bay beat the New York Rangers 2-1 in overtime on Saturday night.

Roloson is 6-13-1 this season with a 2.64 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in 20 games. He is in the final year of a two-year contract. In 532 NHL games, Roloson is 196-229-42-33 with a 2.66 GAA.
