The Vancouver Canucks are already dealing with the loss of goaltender Thatcher Demko, but now it appears they've got another injury issue.
After a long wait, the Vancouver Canucks are back in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but things haven't gone according to plan just yet. After a dramatic game one win, the team announced an injury to Thatcher Demko before dropping game two, ending their two games at home tied at 1-1 against the Nashville Predators.Now, it's getting worse, as star forward Brock Boeser reportedly left practice on Thursday with an injury, according to reporter Adam Kimelman.

Thankfully, Head Coach Rick Tocchet made a statement after practice, revealing that he ‘thinks Boeser will be fine'.
«I think he's fine,» says Rick Tocchet about Brock Boeser leaving practice a bit early.
Says he didn't really see Boeser get hit but the forward didn't say anything about an injury when he saw him after practice.

With the series hanging in the balance as these teams head to Nashville, this is the last thing Vancouver needed as they look to fulfil expectations and make a deep run through the playoffs.
