Boeser has to go through concussion protocol before being cleared to return to the lineup, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser sustained the injury in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh on a hit from Bryan Rust, who received a three-game suspension Tuesday for an illegal check to the head. Boeser is already on injured reserve, but he is feeling better. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Boeser (head) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vancouver recalled Jonathan Lekkerimaki from AHL Abbotsford in a corresponding move. Boeser suffered the injury in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh. He will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against San Jose, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has produced 12 goals, 25 points, 114 shots on net and 30 hits through 50 appearances this season.

Head coach Adam Foote did not have a postgame update on Boeser's status after the winger took a hit to head at the conclusion of Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser was on the receiving end of a high hit from Bryan Rust during a net-front scramble in the final seconds of the third period as the Canucks tried to send the game to overtime. The 28-year-old Boeser will presumably be evaluated further Monday. The right-shot winger should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home divisional matchup against the Sharks.

Boeser scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser netted a goal with 1:12 left in the third period, but the Canucks couldn't find another to even the score. He's put up three goals and an assist over his last five outings. We've seen some bursts of offense from Boeser this season, but they've rarely lasted longer than a couple of weeks. He's at 12 goals, 25 points, 109 shots on net and a minus-30 rating across 49 appearances despite seeing regular top-six minutes.

Boeser scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser picked up his second multi-point effort of January with this game. He has two goals and five assists over 11 outings this month, though he's been able to maintain a steady second-line role. Boeser is up to 11 goals, 24 points, 107 shots on net, 29 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-29 rating over 48 appearances this season, as he's been prone to some of the struggles that have affected the Canucks as a whole.

Boeser scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old winger spoiled Elvis Merzlikins' shutout bid late in the second period by firing a shot past the netminder from the faceoff dot. It was Boeser's 10th goal of the season but his first since Nov. 28, snapping a 21-game drought in which he managed to pick up just five assists while stumbling to a minus-20 rating.

Boeser picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Both helpers came in the third period as the Canucks showed a bit of a spark after falling behind 4-0. Boeser's goal drought stands at 17 games, a stretch in which he's managed to produce just four assists with a ghastly minus-16 rating.

Boeser recorded a power-play assist, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser has just two helpers over 14 games since the start of December. The 28-year-old winger should benefit from Elias Pettersson being healthy again, but Boeser has a lot of work to do to get his season on track. Through 38 appearances, the winger has 18 points (six on the power play), 81 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-18 rating despite regularly filling a top-six role.

Boeser (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus the Sabres, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser was labeled a game-time decision earlier in the day, but it looks like he'll be fine. The 28-year-old should be in a top-line role and on the first power-play unit for a Canucks team that remains ravaged by injuries.

Boeser will be a game-time decision against the Sabres on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser has scored just one goal in his last 12 outings and is stuck in a five-game pointless streak dating back to Nov. 28 versus the Sharks. At his current pace, the Minnesota native will miss the 50-point threshold for the first time since 2021-22. If the Canucks continue to struggle, there could be a fire sale in Vancouver that would see some of Boeser's supporting cast traded elsewhere.
