Six Canucks who will be scratched for Game 7 vs the Oilers
A reporter revealed that six members of the Vancouver Canucks organization are set to bet scratched for tonight's game seven against the Edmonton Oilers.
The Canucks held an optional morning skate this morning in preparation for their ultimate matchup against the Oilers, and the fate of six players was confirmed by Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
"Gate closed at a highly optional Game 7 morning skate.
Thatcher Demko was working with Podkolzin, Juulsen, Karlsson, Friedman and Wolanin - so those are your projected Game 7 #Canucks scratches."

In addition, Brock Boeser also won't take part in the game, following a blood clot issue:
"Sounds like #Canucks Brock Boeser's blood clot developed in his leg, something team medical staff found after Game 6.
He has been placed on blood thinning medication and is not expected to be available to play again this season.
Brutal break for #Canucks' leading goal scorer."

It won't be easy for those players to sit out on such a crucial game. Game sevens only happen a few times in a career, but as a professional player, the most important thing is to contribute and make a difference for you team.
It'll be up to the Oilers to be opportunistic and capitalize on the holes in Rick Tocchet's line up.
Updates will follow.
