The assembly comprises a stator outer platform, a boss, a passage, a blade outer shroud and a circumferential slot. A boss is formed in the platform and includes a passage. The passage includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is disposed in the circumferential slot. The outlet being disposed upstream of the leading edge of the blades. The passage circumferentially converges inward from the inlet to the outlet. The outer shroud joins with said outer platform during the assembly of the compressor such that the circumferential slot is formed downstream and proximate to the leading edge of the blades. The circumferential slot is in flow communication with the inlet and converges axially.
