Vancouver Canucks rookie sensation Elias Pettersson will reportedly be out seven to 10 days with a concussion after being smashed to the ice by Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson on Saturday.
TSN reported that Pettersson, 19, went on the Canucks' road trip to Pittsburgh and Winnipeg but won't play and could miss more than seven to 10 days if symptoms persist.

Matheson, who was not given a penalty on the play, is scheduled to have a phone hearing with the league over possible discipline.
