Canucks forward Brock Boeser to miss start of season following surgery

The Vancouver Canucks announced some unfortunate news on Monday afternoon. Forward Brock Boeser will miss three-to-four weeks after suffering a hand injury, that required surgery, on Saturday during practice.

Boeser, 25, is entering the first year of a three-year contract he signed back in July that will see him earn $6.65 million per season. In 71 games last season, the Burnsville (Minnesota) native recorded 46 points (23 goals, 23 assists), 20 penalty minutes and was a minus-five.

The Brock Boeser-less Canucks will open their 2022-23 schedule on Wednesday, October 12th in Edmonton against the Oilers at 10 p.m. ET.
