VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Canucks have added two more names to their extensive list of injured players.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NHL team announced Monday that winger Brock Boeser and defenceman Zeev Buium have been placed on injured reserve after getting hurt in Vancouver’s 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Boeser, stationed at the top of the Pittsburgh crease in the final seconds of the game, caught an elbow to the head from Bryan Rust and crumpled to the ice in a heap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NHL Player Safety posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that Rust will have a hearing Tuesday about the hit to Boeser’s head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Buium was hit in the face with a puck in the first period, but returned wearing a bubble visor on his helmet and logged 15:41 in ice time in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The duo join goalie Thatcher Demko (undisclosed), defenceman Derek Forbort (undisclosed) and centre Marco Rossi (lower-body) on the injured list.<\/p>\n
Vancouver recalled forward Jonathan Lekkerimaki and defenceman Victor Mancini from the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League on Monday.<\/p>\n
The Canucks (17-30-5) host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
