The main focus now is on Boeser’s health moving forward. The 27-year-old has been one of the Canucks best players this season, with 11 points in 12 games. More information on Boeser’s health will be available at a later time.

It would be shocking if Jeannot was not suspended for this hit. According to the NHL rule book, “A match penalty shall be imposed on any player who deliberately attempts to injure or who deliberately injures an opponent in any manner.” More information on a possible suspension for Jeannot will be available tomorrow.
