The Vancouver Canucks will face the Edmonton Oilers tonight for Game 7 without Brock Boeser. His season has ended due to terrifying blood clot symptoms.
The Canucks will have to formulate a new strategy, as they go into an elimination game against the deadly Edmonton Oilers. Without top-six forward, Brock Boeser this adds a new challenge onto the plate of Head Coach Rick Tocchet.
Boeser will undergo treatment for his blood clots, as this could keep him out of any further playoff games.
Here's an update from Frank Seravalli:
"Sounds like #Canucks Brock Boeser's blood clot developed in his leg, something team medical staff found after Game 6.
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."

With starting goalie Thatcher Demko absent, along with Brock Boeser, the Canucks are officially short-handed.
Boeser produced 19 points( 7 G, 12 A) during 12 games of the Stanley Cup playoffs so far. The Canucks will have to rely upon scoring by committee in order to overcome the Oilers during game 7.
Will the Edmonton Oilers defeat the Canucks to face the Dallas Star without Brock Boeser?
