Boeser (groin) is expected to return to the Canucks lineup on Saturday.

Boeser missed the last two games with a groin injury, but is expected to play tonight vs. the Penguins. Boeser skated on the top line with Elias Pettersson and Nikolay Goldobin at the morning skate and returns to the lineup with six points (2G / 4A) in nine games.

Boeser (groin) is a possibility to play Thursday in Arizona.

Boeser missed Wednesday’s game in Vegas with a groin injury that has been bothering him for a few games. The Canucks likely kept him out last night because of their back-to-back. Head coach Travis Green expects to get Boeser back tonight, which would be huge after Sven Baertschi, Alex Edler and Chris Tanev all went down with injuries last night.

Boeser is day-to-day with a groin injury.

Boeser missed Tuesday’s practice with a groin injury that has been bothering him. Boeser will travel on the Canucks brief two-game road-trip, but is questionable for Wednesday’s game in Vegas. Head coach Travis Green said that the Canucks will “know more tomorrow” so check back in on Wednesday afternoon.

Pettersson (concussion) returned to the ice for Tuesday’s practice; will travel on the Canucks two-game road-trip.

Pettersson has missed the last four games with a concussion that he suffered in Florida 10 days ago. Canucks head coach Travis Green said that Pettersson could play on the trip, which starts Wednesday in Vegas and wraps up the following night in Arizona. Pettersson had a sensational start to the season, scoring five goals with three assists (eight points) in his first five games.

Boeser missed Tuesday’s practice with a lower-body injury.

Boeser’s injury is terrible news for the Canucks. Vancouver recalled Darren Archibald from the AHL, which suggests that Boeser could miss their upcoming back-to-back (Wed. @ VGK/Thu. @ ARI). With Boeser not on the ice, Brendan Leipsic was skating on Vancouver’s top line on Tuesday.

The Red Wings have sent Filip Hronek to Grand Rapids (AHL).

Hronek had three points (1G / 2A) in his first six games with the Red Wings. With Trevor Daley and Jonathan Ericsson back and Mike Green potentially returning on Friday, Hronek will head to the AHL where he had 39 points (11G / 28A) in 67 games last year.
