It has been a dreadful season for the Vancouver Canucks<\/a>. This has led the team to already sell assets, such as Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood, being traded<\/a>. Now, the team just got more bad news, with two players heading to IR.<\/p>\n

General Manager Patrik Allvin has announced that forward Brock Boeser and defenseman Zeev Buium have both been placed on IR<\/a>, per a post from the team on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Boeser was injured late in the third period in the game on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He took a high hit to the head from Bryan Rust<\/a> with just seconds left in the third period and needed to be helped off the ice. Buium took a puck to the face in the loss to the Penguins, not returning to the game after. While a timeline has not been given for Boeser to return, some idea of a return for<\/a> Buium has been given.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe start with Buium, I think we all saw it, a shot to the face. Best case scenario is, I think, probably a week, maybe two weeks, but that\u2019s upon further review and getting through all the medical work to see what\u2019s going on there. I mean, that was a scary injury\u2026 I think minimally, you\u2019re looking at 10 days to two weeks,\u201d NHL Insider Darren Greger said on the Sekeres and Price podcast.<\/p>\n

Vancouver lost the game to the Penguins 3-2, their 13th loss in the last 14 games. The Canucks are now 17-30-5 on the year<\/a>, the worst record in the NHL. They return to the ice on Tuesday night to host the San Jose Sharks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been a dreadful season for the Vancouver Canucks.
