As the Vancouver Canucks prepare for their upcoming 6-game road trip which kicks off this upcoming Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, Rick Tocchet has provided an update on the health of Brock Boeser
A quarter of the way into the NHL season, the Canucks have run into may obstacles that are holding them back from reaching their full potential.
One might say that all team go through this type of hardship, but with the recent announcement of J.T. Miller leaving the team for personal reasons, it seems the team is going through it a little harder than most.
With Miller out, he now joins Derek Forbort, Thatcher Demko and Brock Boeser, but its appears Boeser might be the one to come back sooner rather than later.
Brock Boeser has been out with a significant injury since November 7th when the Canucks faced off against the Los Angeles Kings.
Kings Forward Tanner Jeannot delivered an illegal and dangerous hit to the head of Brock Boeser, making him leave the game and miss time indefinitely.
With all the chatter around when Brock Boeser is expected to return the most recent and encouraging update has been delivered by head coach Rick Tocchet.
Tocchet has released that Boeser will most probably be traveling with the team on their upcoming east coast road trip, but has not been cleared just yet.
After that announcement yesterday, It is now confirmed that Brock Boeser will be joining the team on their road trip.
Additionally, when the Canucks announced today that prospect Jonathan Lekkerimäki has been assigned to Abbotsford (AHL), it sparked rumors that this would be to make room for Boeser.
Obviously, nothing is confirmed, but we would expect to see him suit up in one of the later games of the road trip.
