The Vancouver Canucks have placed forward Brock Boeser in concussion protocol after he was hit from behind by Senators centre Chris Tierney in the third period of a game Monday Night. Boeser collided hard with the boards, but didn't leave the game.

Besides Boeser, the Canucks placed defenceman Oscar Fantenberg in the concussion protocol. He took a hard hit from Senators Jordan Szwarz — who was called for boarding on the play — and laid on the ice for several minutes before leaving the game. It is not clear at this time how badly either is injured or how long they may be out for.
The Canucks play the Senators again Wednesday night and then close out the preseason Thursday night against Arizona.
Boeser just signed a new three-year deal worth $5.875 million per season.
