Canucks rule out 6 players for Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers

A new report has confirmed who will be coming out of the lineup for the Vancouver Canucks in tonight's game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers.

Dealing with several injuries to their lineup the Vancouver Canucks starting lineup for tonight was considered a mystery. Now that mystery has been solved a report from Thomas Drance has confirmed who will be out.

Gate closed at a highly optional Game 7 morning skate.

Thatcher Demko was working with Podkolzin, Juulsen, Karlsson, Friedman and Wolanin - so those are your projected Game 7 #Canucks scratches.

Vasili Podkolzin is the main skater who was skating and will end up being a scratch. Then of course there are the injury-related absences of Thatcher Demko and Brock Boeser.

Earlier today reports confirmed that Brock Boeser would not be seen on the ice anytime soon. He is dealing with blood clots in his legs that will keep him out for the remainder of the season.

Sounds like #Canucks Brock Boeser's blood clot developed in his leg, something team medical staff found after Game 6.

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.

With this news, the Canucks will now have to try and replace Brock Boeser's production as best as they can. More emphasis will also be placed on the Canucks defensive group to keep the high-flying Edmonton Oilers offense in check as well.
