The details of Brock Boeser's injury that'll force him to miss tonight's crucial game seven between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers were confirmed.

Yesterday, it was announced that Boeser wouldn't be available for the game seven, which is set to go down tonight in Vancouver:

Brock Boeser will not be available for the Canucks in game seven on Monday. If they advance, his status moving forward is unclear.

The insider Frank Seravalli shared an unfortunate update for Canucks fans: Boeser will miss the rest of the season, even if the team wins against the Oilers.

Sadly, it doesn't end there. Seravalli also confirmed that Boeser is dealing with a blood clot issue and has been placed on blood thinning medication:

"Sounds like #Canucks Brock Boeser's blood clot developed in his leg, something team medical staff found after Game 6.

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."

This is the second time this season that a blood clot issue strikes a NHL player. Early in the season, Carolina Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen missed several months for the same reason, raising concerns across the league:

With seven goals and 12 assists in 12 playoff games, Boeser is currently leading the team for points. A tough challenge awaits the Canucks, who are already dealing with their star goaltender Thatcher Demko's injury. The Oilers will try to capitalize on those injuries to win an join the Dallas Stars in the next round.

Do you think the Vancouver Canucks can beat the Edmonton Oilers without Thatcher Demko and Brock Boeser?
