4 months agoVancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (upper body) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's battle against Boston. The American forward has been unavailable for seven games due to an upper-body injury. Boeser has been moving at a nearly point-per-game pace this season, producing six goals and five assists in 12 appearances. J.T. Miller (personal) remains out of the lineup, meaning Boeser is projected to skate with Danton Heinen and Teddy Blueger. Boeser has finished pointless just once in his past six games against Boston and had two goals in the most recent head-to-head meeting.

4 months agoVancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (upper body) will not play on Saturday against Edmonton. He is still being evaluated after a hit from L.A. Kings forward Tanner Jeannot knocked Boeser out of action Thursday night. It's a bad loss for the Canucks, as Boeser leads the team with six goals and is tied for the second-most points with 11. Boeser skated with Jake DeBrusk and J.T. Miller on the first line. There's been a line shake-up ahead of Saturday's action, which will pair Miller with Pius Suter and Conor Garland. Nils Hoglander will move up in the lineup and join DeBrusk and Elias Pettersson on the second line.

4 months agoVancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (upper body) was injured in Thursday's matchup against Los Angeles. He was checked to the head by Kings forward Tanner Jeannot, who was ejected from the game. Boeser was limited to 3:14 of ice time. The Canucks winger has been cold lately, but Boeser has seen plenty of offensive success this season, scoring six goals and delivering five assists in 12 outings. Nils Hoglander replaced him on the first line Thursday night and might remain in his spot at the weekend if Boeser can't play against Edmonton.

6 months agoVancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (illness) has been cleared to play after recovering from a blood clot in his leg. Boeser missed the team's final playoff game last season due to the health issue. The 27-year-old was on blood thinners for a few months after the issue appeared, but he has now been cleared for contract training. Boeser had a big year in 2023-24 with 40 goals and 73 points in 81 games. He followed it up by averaging a point per game across 12 playoff outings. The American winger should be eager to keep up the form in the upcoming campaign, as Boeser will enter the final year of his contract.
