Overview
- Vancouver announced during the game that Brock Boeser would not return against the Blues due to an undisclosed injury.
- Boeser was struck in the midsection by an Elias Pettersson point shot 33 seconds into the game and was helped off the ice.
- Foote said postgame that Boeser should be available next game, and follow-up reporting indicates he is expected to play against the Wild.
- The incident added to a severe health crunch that has nine Canucks skaters listed as injured, roughly half the regular lineup.
- Despite the loss of Boeser, Vancouver beat St. Louis 4–3 in a shootout, with Kiefer Sherwood scoring three goals and Kevin Lankinen stopping 36 shots plus all three in the tiebreaker.
