Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser set to return to lineup

Mar 10, 2020 | 12:41 PM

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks are getting one of their key players back in the lineup.

Forward Brock Boeser practised on a regular line and will dress for the Canucks’ game against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

Boeser has missed 12 games since suffering a rib cartilage injury in a Feb. 6 game against Minnesota. At one point, the Canucks said he would miss the rest of the regular season.

Boeser practised on a line with Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson in the morning skate.

Boeser returns at a time when the Canucks are playing four games in six days, including a road trip to Arizona and Colorado.
