Brock Boeser's foot injury is not as severe as it once seemed, as the Vancouver Canucks forward is in the lineup against the Montreal Canadiens.

His inclusion comes after a whirlwind couple of days where, after Boeser blocked a shot against the Calgary Flames on Sunday night, it looked as though the 20-year-old could be out long term.

However, news broke Monday that Boeser had not suffered a fracture, but a bone bruise, and would be day to day rather than week to week with the injury.

Boeser would miss no time, which is great news for the Canucks as he currently leads the team with 17 goals and 30 points.
