Canucks Expect Filip Chytil to Rejoin Lineup Tonight vs. Devils

Coach Adam Foote says the center will play if he clears the pregame skate after a three‑month concussion layoff.

Overview

  • Chytil has been out since October 19 after a heavy open‑ice hit from Tom Wilson resulted in a concussion.
  • Multiple outlets report the Canucks are expected to activate him for New Jersey, though the team had not issued formal confirmation at the time of reporting.
  • He progressed from non‑contact skating to full practices and took part in Thursday’s session with the team.
  • Before the injury, the 26‑year‑old scored three goals in six games and led Vancouver at five‑on‑five in shot attempts, shots, and high‑danger chances.
  • His return is being weighed against a documented history of multiple concussions that continues to cloud his longer‑term availability.
