Vancouver Canucks forward Tanner Pearson will miss at least four weeks with a lower-body injury, the team announced Friday.

Pearson sustained the injury during the third period of Vancouver’s 3-2 shootout victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.

Pearson, 28, has recorded 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 33 games this season.

Pearson made an impact in his first full season with the Canucks after they acquired him from the Pittsburgh Penguins in February 2019. He had a career-high 45 points (21 goals, 24 assists) in 69 games in 2019-20.
