Boeser was set to become an RFA after his three-year, $17.625M deal expired. His new-deal carries a $6.65M AAV cap-hit and carries him through the 2025 season. Boeser is coming off of his fourth 20-plus goal season and has at least 45 points in five straight seasons. His biggest issue has been health, missing 15 percent of the games since 2018.
The hit knocked Kadri out for at least the remainder of the series. Kane will miss Game 4, where the Oilers need a win to keep their season alive. Zach Hyman will likely skate with Connor McDavid with Kane unavailable.
Chytil was hurt last Thursday against the Islanders and missed Saturday's game in Boston. However, he was on the ice for Monday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday, so there's a good chance he's back in the lineup vs. the Hurricanes.
Patera was a sixth-round pick in 2017 and will serve as Logan Thompson's backup with Robin Lehner out for the final week of the season. Patera has gone 9-11-1 with a 2.89 GAA and .903 SV% in 21 games with Henderson this season.
Chytil suffered an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Thursday and is not expected to play Saturday in Boston. With both Chytil and Andrew Copp (lower-body) not likely to be available, look for two of Jonny Brodzinski, Greg McKegg and/or Julien Gauthier to draw into the lineup.
Boeser missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Monday vs. the Stars. Boeser has gone pointless in his last four games and has just 10 points (4G / 6A) in his 20 games.
