DeBrusk (upper-body) will miss at least the next two games.
Vancouver Canucks News
DeBrusk left Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return.
DeBrusk absorbed a big hit early on Tuesday but was able to play through it for a period of time, but eventually went down the tunnel and never returned. DeBrusk ended up logging just 10:48 TOI and should be considered questionable as the Bruins head to Florida for a clash with the Panthers on Thursday.
Boeser will miss 4-6 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his lower-back.
It looks like Boeser’s amazing rookie season is going to be cut short after he fractured his back late in Monday’s win over the Islanders. If this does wrap up his season, Boeser finishes the campaign with 29 goals and 26 assists (55 points) in 62 games.
Ferland (undisclosed) is expected to return to the Flames lineup on Monday.
Ferland has missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury but will be back in the lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. Ferland, who will be back on the top line with Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau, has 20 goals and 14 assists (34 points) in 61 games this season.
The Sharks have acquired Evander Kane from the Sabres for Danny O’Regan, a conditional 2019 1st round pick and a conditional 2020 4th round pick.
Kane brings size, speed and scoring to the Sharks, who are in need of top-6 goal scoring help. Kane has scored 20 goals and 20 assists (40 points) in 61 games this season. If he does not re-sign with the Sharks this season, the 1st round pick in 2019 becomes a 2nd round pick.
Ferland is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury; unlikely to play on Tuesday.
Ferland left last Thursday’s game in Arizona before missing Saturday’s contest vs. the Avalanche. The Flames said that Ferland “probably” won’t play in Tuesday’s game in Dallas. The Flames claimed Chris Stewart off of waivers on Monday to help fill-in for Ferland.
Line Change
Kane will be scratched for the second straight game.
With a possible trade on the horizon the Sabres will make sure that Kane remains healthy, so he will sit tonight. There’s a good chance that Thursday’s game in Detroit was Kane’s last with the Sabres.
Line Change
Kane will be held out of Saturday's game for precautionary reasons ahead of Monday's trade deadline.
Ferland (undisclosed) will not play Saturday against the Avalanche.

Forbort left Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Boeser (foot) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
It has been a crazy 48 hours for Boeser as it’s gone from looking like he’d be out for a lengthy period of time to a game-time decision tonight.

Boeser (foot) is day-to-day with a bone bruise.
The Canucks got great news on Monday after a CT scan revealed no structural damage on Boeser’s foot.

Boeser suffered the injury while blocking a Mark Giordano shot on Sunday and is not expected to play Tuesday vs. the Canadiens.
