Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser is reportedly set for an expanded role to start the season, as Head Coach Adam Foote told reporters on Thursday.The Vancouver Canucks continue their preparations for the start of the 2025-26 season on Friday with the second day of training camp and we’re likely going to see some different line combinations and special teams units being tested out by Adam Foote and his staff.After the Canucks lost Pius Suter in the first couple days of free agency, with the Swiss forward signing a two-year deal with the St. Louis Blues, it left a pretty big void on the team’s penalty killing unit, but it looks like Head Coach Adam Foote may have found his replacement.

Brock Boeser set for expanded role for Vancouver Canucks during 2025-26 season

When meeting with reporters after the first day of training camp, Vancouver Canucks Head Coach said that he believes forward Brock Boeser could be a factor on the penalty kill for the club this season.

“Asked about the PK, Adam Foote mentioned that he thinks Brock Boeser could kill penalties because of how smart he is #Canucks” Harman Dayal of The Athletic said on X.

While it may be hard to replicate the success they had on the penalty kill last season, especially with the departure of Pius Suter, the Vancouver Canucks should have no issues at least being in the top-half, if not top-ten of all teams in the National Hockey League.

As Boeser embarks on the first year of his new contract, he’s hoping to produce some more offense for his club, after seeing a 15 goal & 23 point drop-off between the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons.
