Boeser suffered a hand injury in Saturday's training camp session and underwent surgery on Monday. Boeser is expected to miss the first 1-to-2 weeks of the regular season. Boeser's injury will open the door for someone like Conor Garland or Nils Hoglander to move up into the Canucks' top-6 for a short period of time.
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.
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.
Boeser has missed the last three games but skated on Monday, will skate again tomorrow but will not play against Vegas. He could be back later in the week.

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.

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 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.
