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.
The issue was found by the Canuck's' medical staff after game 6 and Boeser has been given the direction to take blood thinners as well in an effort to combat the clot.
