Forward Brock Boeser will return to the Vancouver Canucks' lineup Tuesday night in Boston, coach Rick Tocchet confirmed.
Boeser has been sidelined since taking an illegal check to the head by Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot on Nov. 7. Jeannot was suspended three games and Boeser has missed the last seven contests.
"A guy like Brock, he wants to play every game," Tocchet said Tuesday morning. "Played a lot of hockey for us over the years. It's good to have a guy like that in the lineup."
The Canucks are 7-1-0 on the road entering the game against the Bruins.
Boeser, 27, recorded 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 12 games before the injury.
He has 395 points (185 goals, 210 assists) in 491 career games since Vancouver drafted him in the first round (23rd overall) in 2015.
