Canucks’ Brock Boeser gone for the playoffs with blood-clot issue
Even if the Vancouver Canucks manage to advance to the Western Conference final, they won’t be getting forward Brock Boeser back any time soon
Boeser, who has developed a blood clot that will keep him out of Game 7 on Monday night, is not expected to be able to play again this season, Sportsnet has confirmed. Frank Seravalli of DailyFaceoff.com first reported the development.

He has been placed on blood thinning medication and is not expected to be available to play again this season.
Brutal break for #Canucks' leading goal scorer.
The 27-year-old developed the issue in his leg after the Canucks’ loss in Game 6 to the Oilers, according to Seravalli. The American was Vancouver’s leading scorer in the regular season, with 40 goals, and had seven more in 12 playoff games this spring.
