It's now confirmed for Brock Boeser and the rest of the season
The Canucks were dealt heartbreaking news when it was announced that Brock Boeser would be missing the game seven against the Oilers.
At the very least, blood clotting issues will have Brock Boeser sidelined for game seven. The latest intel delivered by NHL insider Frank Seravalli announced that Brock Boeser wasn't expected to play again this season.
He has been placed on blood thinning medication and is not expected to be available to play again this season.
Brutal break for the #Canucks' leading goal scorer.
In a piece released last night, it was confirmed not a life-threatening issue and that his career wasn't in play either.
Boeser is now the NHL's second player in 2024 to be sidelined due to blood clotting. For similar reasons, the Hurricanes' netminder Frederik Andersen was also pulled from the game earlier this season.
The Canucks forward, who will miss Game 7 tonight vs Edmonton, is the second NHL player this season to deal with it after goalie Frederik Andersen. Blood clots have become more widespread in hockey than in the rest of society.
This obviously couldn't have come at the worst time for the Canucks, and for Boeser as well. After two seasons during which he had struggled, the longest-tenured Canucks had finally found his stride. We were all wishing him a speedy recovery.
