Roussel suffering a knee injury after being dropped in the second period by a head shot from Brendan Lemieux, who was assessed a match penalty for targeting the head....

The Roussel loss is a brutal blow to his career season and being the club’s moral compass.

The gritty winger was cutting to the net in the second period when he was dropped by an elbow to the head and twisted and fell to the ice on his knee. The unrestricted free agent acquisition had a career-high 31 points (9-22) and his loss will hamper the Canucks on the ice and in the room in their remaining games.
