Eric Boulton

Eric Boulton (born August 17, 1976) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger.

In October 2005, Boulton was suspended for six games after elbowing Tampa Bay Lightning rookie Paul Ranger, causing a hairline fracture of the jaw and a concussion.

Only a week earlier, Boulton had made a similar move in a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, almost injuring Eric Lindros.

He then signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Devils for a 2-year contract worth $575,000 in the first year and $750,000 in the second, joining former Thrashers teammates Ilya Kovalchuk and Johan Hedberg.

After the 2016–17 season, Boulton ended his professional career, however continued his association with the Islanders in accepting a scouting role.
