Vancouver Canucks Roster Updates: Boeser and Buium Out with Injuries, Lekkerimaki and Mancini Called Up
The Vancouver Canucks will be missing two key players, Brock Boeser and Zeev Buium, due to injuries. Boeser suffered a head injury from an elbow by Bryan Rust of the Penguins, leading to his placement on injured reserve. Buium took a puck to the face in the same game and will also be on injured reserve to recover. Boeser has had a challenging season offensively, while Buium has been a valuable addition to the team since being acquired in a trade with the Wild.
To fill the roster gaps, the Canucks have called up forward Jonathan Lekkerimaki and defenseman Victor Mancini from AHL Abbotsford. These roster changes come ahead of the Canucks' upcoming game against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. The team will have to adjust to the absence of Boeser and Buium as they aim to secure a win in their next matchup.
