Due to a blood-clotting problem, Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser is not anticipated to play in Monday’s Game 7 of their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers, a source confirmed a report to ESPN.

His comeback to action has no set date. The Canucks remained silent regarding Boeser’s situation.

Boeser skipped Sunday’s practice session. At a press conference, coach Rick Tocchet would only state that “he needed the maintenance day.

Boeser, 27, is tied for the team lead in points (12) and leads the Canucks in goals (7) in the postseason. During the regular season, he set career highs in goals (40), points (73), and games played (81).

The Canucks winger has had some MVP moments during their playoff run. His hat trick in Game 4 against the Nashville Predators led them to a comeback win. Boeser’s three points in the first period of Game 3 led Vancouver to a win over Edmonton.

It’s the second significant injury for Vancouver in the playoffs after a regular season of relatively good health for the team’s core players. Starting goaltender Thatcher Demko, a finalist for the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s best netminder, hasn’t played since Game 1 of the first round because of a knee injury. Edmonton won Game 6 at home Saturday night to force Monday’s Game 7, the only seventh game of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The winner faces the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference finals.
