The Vancouver Canucks may need to consider making a drastic move with forward Brock Boeser as he continues to struggle offensively on the team’s road trip.<\/p>\n

After a somewhat slow October, the 28-year-old picked up the pace the next month with ten points in 14 games, but unfortunately the last six-plus weeks have been a struggle for Brock Boeser<\/a> as he hasn’t scored since Friday, November 28th against the Los Angeles Kings.”It’s been tough – my confidence has been pretty low. We talk about these slumps and the only way out of it is hard work and trusting the process.” Boeser said about his offensive struggles.<\/p>\n

He added, “I feel like I’ve still had a lot of chances, I just haven’t put the puck in the net. That’s on me. I have to find ways to bear down and find a way to put the puck in the net. It’s definitely been hard to stay positive, but it comes down to the work. And I think when you put the work in, you’ll get bounces.”<\/p>\n

Vancouver Canucks may need to consider making Brock Boeser a healthy scratch<\/p>\n

In a recent article for Canucks Army, Tyson Cole said that he thinks Vancouver Canucks Head Coach Adam Foote needs to consider making Brock Boeser a healthy scratch, something he isn’t afraid to do after giving Jake DeBrusk the same treatment in late-December.<\/p>\n

“For starters, as we’ve already discussed, it would make sense because of his scoring troubles. And, for a goal scorer who’s paid to be an NHL goal scorer, not scoring is kind of a problem. That’s his role on this team. Sure, sometimes when a player isn’t going offensively, they stay in the lineup because they’re helping the team in other areas: shot volume, penalty killing, defensive\/physical play. But Boeser isn’t bringing any of those intangibles right now.” Cole said.<\/p>\n

In 42 games this season, Boeser has registered just 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists), four penalty minutes and is a minus-23 while averaging 19:07 of ice time per night.<\/p>\n

Perhaps making Brock Boeser a healthy scratch, whether it’s tomorrow in Montreal or Tuesday in Ottawa, will light a fire under him like it did for Jake DeBrusk, who has put up five points in six games since his trip to the stands.<\/p>\n
