  • Tallies in Game 7 win
    Hyman scored a goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Hyman went cold in the middle of the second round, but he had a goal in each of the last two games to bounce back at a good time. The 31-year-old winger leads the playoffs with 11 tallies, and he's added 50 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating over 12 appearances while consistently playing in a top-line role.

The 31-year-old is up to four goals, 12 assists, 17 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 playoff outings.

  • In action Monday
    Mikheyev (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup for Game 7 versus the Oilers on Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

  • Won't return this postseason
    Boeser will miss the remainder of the 2024 playoffs after a blood-clotting issue was found in his leg following Vancouver's Game 6 loss to Edmonton on Saturday, per Sportsnet.

    Advice: Boeser will conclude the postseason with seven goals and 12 points in 12 appearances. He also set career highs during the 2023-24 regular season, producing 40 goals and 73 points over 81 outings. If Ilya Mikheyev (undisclosed) can't play in Monday's Game 7 matchup versus the Oilers, Sam Lafferty or Linus Karlsson could draw into the lineup to replace Boeser.

  • Out for Game 7
    Boeser is dealing with a blood clotting issue and will not play in Monday's Game 7 against Edmonton, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Boeser's status moving forward is unclear, which would be a huge factor in the Western Conference Finals against Dallas if Vancouver wins Game 7. Fortunately, his condition is not considered to be life-threatening. He's scored seven goals and 12 points through 12 games this postseason, including a hat trick in Game 4 of the first round against Nashville. If Ilya Mikheyev (undisclosed) misses Game 7 as well, Sam Lafferty seems to be the most likely candidate to step in for Boeser. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:59 pm
