Boeser scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser's helper was the 400th point of his career. He's approaching another milestone -- assuming he stays healthy, his 500th game will be Thursday versus the Panthers. Boeser has a goal and four assists over his last four outings as he starts to get back in a rhythm following a seven-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The winger is at 16 points, 40 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-1 rating through 18 appearances this season.

Boeser recorded a pair of assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

These were Boeser's first two points over three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger has played on the third line since his return, though he saw 21:02 of ice time Friday, so his usage may be larger than his listed role would suggest. He's at six goals, seven helpers, 30 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-1 rating through 15 outings this season.

Boeser (upper body), as expected, will be in the lineup versus Boston on Tuesday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser returns following a seven-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old winger was off to a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign with six goals and five helpers in 12 outings, including four power-play points. Boeser is slated to fill a third-line role Tuesday but could move back into the top six once he gets his legs back under him.

Boeser (upper body) might be available to face Boston on Tuesday after head coach Rick Tocchet told reporters, "He looked good today. I'll talk to him and see if he's ready to go tomorrow (Tuesday). He hasn't had any (symptoms) the last bunch of days and we sped it up (pace) a little bit today," per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser looks poised to return following a seven-game absence due to his upper-body issue. In his 12 outings this year, the 27-year-old winger has racked up six goals and five assists, including four power-play points. Based on Monday's practice session, Boeser figures to return in a third-line role in addition to seeing power-play time.

Boeser (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Friday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser sustained an upper-body injury against the Kings on Nov. 7, and Friday marked the first time that he practiced with the main group since getting hurt. While he'll likely need to shed his non-contact sweater before he's in the mix to return to game action, he certainly took an encouraging step in his recovery process Friday.

Boeser (upper body) is out indefinitely, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reported Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser didn't play in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Edmonton after being injured in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings. It's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. The Canucks recalled Jonathan Lekkerimaki from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday to occupy a top-six role during Boeser's absence. The 27-year-old Boeser has six goals, 11 points, 26 shots on net and 13 hits through 12 appearances this season.

Boeser (upper body) won't play Saturday against Edmonton, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser is still undergoing evaluation, and a timeline for his return has not been established yet. He sustained the injury in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings, and the hit resulted in Tanner Jeannot receiving a three-game suspension. The 27-year-old Boeser has six goals, 11 points, 26 shots on net and 13 hits through 12 appearances this season. With Boeser unavailable, Vancouver recalled Nils Aman and Arshdeep Bains from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday to play against the Oilers.

Boeser (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Kings after taking a high blindside hit from Tanner Jeannot in the first period.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser immediately left for the locker room after the hit, which earned a major penalty and ejection for Jeannot. The 27-year-old Boeser has racked up six goals and five assists through 12 contests, so any potential absence would have a significant impact on the Canucks' offense. Given the nature of the hit, it's unclear if Boeser will be available to play Saturday versus the Oilers.

Boeser scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser tied the game at 1-1 with his first-period tally before setting up Jake DeBrusk for a goal in the third. This ended a two-game dry spell for Boeser, who has offered mostly consistent offense in a top-six role this season. He's up to six goals, five assists, 25 shots on net, 12 hits, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 11 outings.

Boeser notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Boeser found the back of the net midway through the first period to even things up at 1-1, and later he'd set up Quinn Hughes' third-period goal to spark the late comeback and force overtime. Boeser has been one of the most consistent players for the Canucks this season, cracking the scoresheet in six straight games and all but one of his eight outings. He's up to five goals and four assists on the season.
