Brock Boeser is re-joining his Vancouver Canucks teammates in Nashville, according to a report from CanucksArmy and Daily Faceoff’s Irfaan Gaffar.

Boeser has missed the Canucks’ last two games due to personal reasons, and wasn’t at today’s practice in Nashville. While Boeser has been away, the injury bug has hit the Canucks in a big way. First, they lost Filip Chytil and Jonathan Lekkerimäki in the first period of Sunday’s game against Washington, and by the end of that game, they also found themselves without Teddy Blueger. While the Canucks managed to hang onto their lead and come out victorious in that game, Tuesday night in Pittsburgh was a different story.

Already without Nils Höglander and Derek Forbort, the Canucks’ lineup featured the likes of PO Joseph, Joseph LaBate, and Nils Aman on Tuesday night, and the results weren’t great. After a solid start to the game — they even scored the first goal of the game — the Canucks fell apart in the second period and ended up falling by a final score of 5-1.

Boeser will be a welcome addition to the Canucks’ lineup on Thursday night, as he already has three goals through five games this season. Veteran blueliner Filip Hronek was also absent from Wednesday’s practice. There is no word on whether it was just a maintenance day or if Hronek is dealing with some sort of injury. Rookie Tom Willander is with the team as its lone healthy extra defenceman.

The Canucks are 3-1 through the first four games of their road trip and have a chance to come home with eight of 10 points if they can beat a struggling Nashville team that has dropped four straight games.
