The Vancouver Canucks will be without Brock Boeser tomorrow night for game seven against the Edmonton Oilers according to new reports that have just emerged.

Vancouver based sports journalist Irfaan Gaffar was the first to drop the news that Boeser will not be available for game seven. However, he could not provide any additional details immediately.
Brock Boeser will not be available for the Canucks in game seven on Monday. If they advance, his status moving forward is unclear.

Luckily, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman was quick to provide an update on the story. He revealed that Boeser is dealing with a blood clotting issue, the same ailment that saw Carolina Hurricanes netminder Freddy Andersen miss a large part of the regular season this year.

The exact timeline for his return is unknown, but several sources stressed this, thankfully, is not considered a life-threatening situation.

It's a big loss for the Canucks, as Boeser is having an excellent season — leading Vancouver with seven goals and 12 assists in 12 playoff games.

As a result, Boeser's timeline for return is very much in doubt. It is hard to know if he might be an option later on in the playoffs or not, should the Canucks advance. Freddy Andersen was out for nearly the entire regular season with a similar condition, but this is more of a case-by-case incident, so the only people who might even have an idea when he could return would be Boeser himself and his doctors.

This is a massive blow to the Canucks, one that could potentially cost them game seven. Obviously, Boeser's health is far more important than the outcome of the game though. Luckily, it sounds like he will be okay.
