BOSTON — The Canucks have sent forward Brock Boeser back to Vancouver to have a groin injury examined a specialist.

The 21-year-old Boeser joined the Canucks for their six-game road trip but didn’t play in Vancouver’s 3-2 series-opening shootout loss at Detroit on Tuesday.

Boeser originally injured his groin in a 4-1 loss at the Winnipeg Jets on Oct. 18.

He hasn’t played since he had goals and two assists in Vancouver’s 7-6 overtime victory against the Colorado Avalanche on Nov. 2.
