The Vancouver Canucks will be without Brock Boeser, arguably their top sniper, against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night while he deals with a groin injury.

Boeser also missed practice on Tuesday. He's been battling the ailment since last Thursday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, head coach Travis Green told reporters on Tuesday, according to Patrick Johnston of The Province.

The 21-year-old is off to a slow start after a sizzling rookie campaign. He's scored just two goals and recorded six points during the Canucks' first nine games of the season.
