Brock Boeser News

Boeser was on the ice for the Canucks morning skate again, but did not participate in line rushes and is not expected to play in Philadelphia. Boeser appears to be close, so there's a chance he plays in the second half of the back-to-back, tomorrow in Detroit.

Boeser travelled to Edmonton and was on the ice for the morning skate but did not participate in line rushes and will not play on Wednesday. Monitor his status as the Canucks head into a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday.

Boeser was expected to miss the start of the season, however, head coach Travis Green did not rule him out for Wednesday's season opener. Boeser travelled and will likely test his injury in the morning skate, so monitor his status this afternoon.

Boeser has missed the last 12 games but was on the ice for the morning skate and will play tonight vs. the Islanders. Boeser will return on a line with Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson and comes in with 16 goals and 29 assists (45 points) in 56 games this season.

Boeser was forced to leave Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury and was placed on IR on Sunday. His movement to IR means that he will miss at least two games and the Canucks will re-evaluate him prior to next Sunday’s game vs. the Ducks. The move also opens up a roster spot to call-up reinforcements from Utica (AHL).

Boeser took an ugly hit from behind from Senators centre Chris Tierney and Canucks head coach Travis Green announced that Boeser is in concussion protocol. With the regular season just over one week away, Boeser’s status for the season opener is suddenly in question.

Boeser had 26 goals and 30 assists (56 points) in 69 games in 2019. Through two NHL seasons, Boeser has averaged 34 goals and 35 assists (69 points) per 82-games but has missed 20.1 percent of the games. If Boeser can stay healthy, he has legit 40-goal, 40-assist upside next to Elias Pettersson.

Boeser has missed the last 11 games with a groin injury but is “very likely” to play on Tuesday. Boeser, who had 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games before getting hurt, will skate on a line with Elias Pettersson and Nikolay Goldobin in his return.

Boeser won’t play Thursday, but Canucks head coach Travis Green didn’t rule out the possibility of Boeser re-joining the Canucks on their road-trip. The MRI on Boeser’s groin came back negative, but they want him to see a specialist to make sure they don’t bring him back too soon.

Boeser is dealing with a groin injury and will come out of the Canucks lineup in Detroit. Boeser is day-to-day and will be replaced by Jake Virtanen on the top-line. Monitor his status heading into Thursday’s game in Boston.

Boeser missed the last two games with a groin injury, but is expected to play tonight vs. the Penguins. Boeser skated on the top line with Elias Pettersson and Nikolay Goldobin at the morning skate and returns to the lineup with six points (2G / 4A) in nine games.

Boeser missed Wednesday’s game in Vegas with a groin injury that has been bothering him for a few games. The Canucks likely kept him out last night because of their back-to-back. Head coach Travis Green expects to get Boeser back tonight, which would be huge after Sven Baertschi, Alex Edler and Chris Tanev all went down with injuries last night.

Boeser missed Tuesday’s practice, but was on the ice for this morning’s gameday skate. Boeser was officially listed as “questionable” for tonight’s game, so monitor his stats as the Canucks hit the ice for warmups at 9:30pm ET.

Boeser missed Tuesday’s practice with a groin injury that has been bothering him. Boeser will travel on the Canucks brief two-game road-trip, but is questionable for Wednesday’s game in Vegas. Head coach Travis Green said that the Canucks will “know more tomorrow” so check back in on Wednesday afternoon.

Boeser’s injury is terrible news for the Canucks. Vancouver recalled Darren Archibald from the AHL, which suggests that Boeser could miss their upcoming back-to-back (Wed. @ VGK/Thu. @ ARI). With Boeser not on the ice, Brendan Leipsic was skating on Vancouver’s top line on Tuesday.
