The Vancouver Canucks placed defenceman Travis Hamonic on the injured reserve Thursday.

Hamonic left Wednesday’s game against the Boston Bruins after a collision with Bruins forward Brad Marchand. The incident happened at the 14:00 mark of the second period and saw Hamonic quickly make his way to the Canucks’ dressing room.

Worry is for a medial/high ankle sprain for Hamonic. Time off depends on grade of injury and if any associated fracture Isolated ankle fracture (8+ weeks off) also equally as likely #Canucks
