Boeser goes off in Game 3 win
Brock Boeser scored twice on four shots, dished an assist, logged four hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday’s 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3. Boeser set up Elias Lindholm’s power-play tally in the first period, then scored the next two goals to put the Canucks in control by the intermission. The 27-year-old Boeser has five points through three games in the second round, and he’s up to seven goals, four assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through nine playoff outings. The Canucks’ offense hasn’t really fired on all cylinders yet, but Boeser has been reliable in the playoffs.
Draisaitl scores a power-play goal in loss
Leon Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on five shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Sunday’s 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3. Draisaitl got the Oilers within a goal in the second period and helped out on Evan Bouchard’s tally in the third, but it wasn’t enough. The 28-year-old Draisaitl has multiple points in seven of eight playoff contests, with the lone exception being the Oilers’ 1-0 win over the Kings in Game 4 of the first round. He’s at seven goals, 11 helpers, 35 shots on net, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating this postseason.
