Canucks star winger Brock Boeser out for Game 7 vs. Oilers: coach

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks will be without star winger Brock Boeser for the decisive Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers tonight. 

Head coach Rick Tocchet says the 27-year-old right-winger is being evaluated and won’t be available for the final game of the second-round Stanley Cup playoff series.

Tocchet declined to speak about the nature of Boeser’s injury, but reports emerged Sunday that he would miss the game due to a non-life-threatening blood clotting issue.

Boeser has seven goals and five assists in 12 playoff appearances this year, and recorded career highs in goals (40) and points (73) during the regular-season campaign.
