Boeser week to week after seeing specialist for groin injury

Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser is week to week after being sent home to see a specialist for his recurring groin injury, head coach Travis Green announced Saturday.

Boeser was sent back to the West coast in the midst of the Canucks' six-game road trip after missing Tuesday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings. He'd already missed two games with a groin injury earlier in the season before being ruled out again.

In 13 appearances this year, Boeser has notched four goals and seven assists.
