Boeser's three points and six shots against Anaheim ran well ahead of his recent marks of 0.61 points and 2.2 shots per game. The extra two and a half minutes pushed him to 21:45 compared to his usual 19:07, and he leads Vancouver skaters with 3:22 of power-play time a night. The winger sits on the first unit and averages 0.25 power-play points per game.
His process grade of 24 out of 100 among forwards, based on shots, scoring chances and ice time, suggests his scoring rate may not hold. The Canucks have two games left this week, Thursday and Saturday, then four next week. Boeser remains a hold in standard formats, though the underlying numbers warn against expecting similar production in every outing.
What to do
• Keep Boeser active in all formats with two games left this week on Thursday and Saturday.
• Temper expectations based on his 24-out-of-100 process grade among forwards.
• Monitor whether his ice time stays elevated above his 19:07 average in upcoming games.
