  6H ago • By RotoWire

  Boeser (upper body), as expected, will be in the lineup versus Boston on Tuesday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports. Boeser returns following a seven-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old winger was off to a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign with six goals and five helpers in 12 outings, including four power-play points. Boeser is slated to fill a third-line role Tuesday but could move back into the top six once he gets his legs back under him.

  Boeser (upper body) might be available to face Boston on Tuesday after head coach Rick Tocchet told reporters, "He looked good today. I'll talk to him and see if he's ready to go tomorrow (Tuesday). He hasn't had any (symptoms) the last bunch of days and we sped it up (pace) a little bit today," per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia. Boeser looks poised to return following a seven-game absence due to his upper-body issue. In his 12 outings this year, the 27-year-old winger has racked up six goals and five assists, including four power-play points. Based on Monday's practice session, Boeser figures to return in a third-line role in addition to seeing power-play time.

Boeser sustained an upper-body injury against the Kings on Nov. 7, and Friday marked the first time that he practiced with the main group since getting hurt. While he'll likely need to shed his non-contact sweater before he's in the mix to return to game action, he certainly took an encouraging step in his recovery process Friday.
