Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser will miss Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday due to a blood clotting issue. The condition, which was discovered after Game 6, is not considered life-threatening, but Boeser has been placed on blood-thinning medication and is not expected to return for the remainder of the playoffs. This development is a significant blow to the Canucks, as Boeser is their leading goal scorer. Head coach Rick Tocchet emphasized the importance of resilience, while teammate Tyler Myers noted that everyone has to step up in Boeser's absence. The team will need to rely on other players to step up in his absence as they face a decisive game against the Oilers.

Tyler Myers: I don't think you want to make the moment too big. It's the same approach that we've had all series, all year. Making sure that you stick to your base, your system, and the way you need to play it. You don't want to open the game up. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
Tyler Myers: Our group has been a very resilient group the whole year, and we just have to continue that. It's going to be tight out there. It's going to be hard hockey. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
