Brock Boeser will not be available for the Canucks in game seven on Monday. If they advance, his status moving forward is unclear.
— Irfaan Gaffar (@irfgaffar) May 19, 2024A massive loss to the Canucks as Boeser currently leads the team with seven goals and 12 assists in 12 playoff games. Boeser has tallied three goals and three assists for six points in six games throughout the second-round series against the Oilers, which included a three-point night in Game 3.
The 27-year-old tallied a career-high 40 goals and 73 points in 81 games during the 2023-24 regular season. He ranked first in goals and fourth in points among Canucks skaters. He is one of 17 players who hit the 40-goal mark during the 2023-24 campaign. Boeser missed the final game of the regular season and was reportedly “dealing with something.”
The Canucks will get ready to face off against the Oilers in an All-Canadian Game 7 battle to see who advances to the Western Conference Final to face the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
Throughout his career, Boeser has appeared in 479 career games and has registered 179 goals and 205 assists. The Burnsville, Minnesota native will be heading into the final year of his three-year, $19,950,000 contract he signed in July 2022.
