Report: Boeser earns sizable bonus with 20th goal of season

Brock Boeser earned himself a Christmas bonus.

The Vancouver Canucks forward tallied his 20th goal of the season in the second period of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues, and with it earned a $212,500 bonus, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

With the goal, Boeser also became the fastest rookie in franchise history to score 20 times, according to Sportsnet Stats. Meanwhile, as TSN 1040's Jeff Paterson pointed out, only four Canucks players have scored more goals than Boeser's 20 over the past five season.

Boeser now has a seven-goal cushion over Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller for the rookie lead.
