Bryan Rust faces a hearing for an elbow to Brock Boeser's head that led to multiple Canucks players being placed on injured reserve, officials said.

  • On Monday, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced that Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust will have a hearing Tuesday over an illegal check to the head of Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser.
  • During the game's final seconds, Brock Boeser took an elbow to the head from Bryan Rust at the top of the Penguins' crease and crumpled to the ice, and Rust received a minor penalty in Pittsburgh's 3-2 road win.
  • On Monday, Vancouver placed Brock Boeser and defenseman Zeev Buium on injured reserve after Sunday's 3-2 loss, with Buium returning wearing a bubble visor and Vancouver recalling Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Victor Mancini from the Abbotsford Canucks.
  • The date and time of the hearing is yet to be determined, according to the NHL Department of Player Safety, while the Vancouver Canucks host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.
  • Rust's career numbers show Bryan Rust, 33, Pittsburgh Penguins winger, is in his 12th NHL season after being a 2010 draft third round pick, with 39 points in 47 games this season.
