Canucks' Coach Bruce Boudreau Issues Update on Injured Mikheyev

Per Vancouver Canucks' head coach Bruce Boudreau, Ilya Mikheyev sustained a lower-body injury in the latter half of their preseason double-header against the Calgary Flames. Boudreau said to consider the Russian forward 'week-to-week,' so his status for the season opener is questionable for now.


Nicolas Meloche crunched Mikheyev in the corner, forcing him to leave the game early, never to return. Vancouver signed the Russian free agent to a four-year, $19 million dollar deal in July. In 146 games for Toronto, Mikheyev scored 72 points, fresh off of his first 20-goal campaign.

A look at the hit:

Upon review, it appears as though the injury happened upon impact with the ice, but it is tough to be certain. Hopefully, this does not inhibit Mikheyev from dressing in the Canucks' opener in Edmonton on October 12. This is not a player Vancouver wants to be without for very long.
