Filip Chytil - NHL News & Rumors

Role to be determined during camp Head coach Manny Malhotra didn't indicate Wednesday whether he'll use Chytil as a center or at the wing during the 2026-27 campaign, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Impact Malhotra praised Chytil's combination of size and speed but said that the 27-year-old's role for the upcoming season will be determined during training camp and preseason action. Chytil missed significant time during the 2025-26 season due to upper-body and facial injuries, and he recorded three goals, six PIM, four hits and four blocked shots while averaging 15:00 of ice time across 12 regular-season appearances.

Feels ready for 2026-27 Chytil (face) participated in a scrimmage Wednesday and told reporters afterward that he feels good heading into 2026-27, Chris Faber of the Canucks' official site reports.

Impact Chytil's last official game action was Feb. 2. "I feel good. It was long, since I had [an] offseason since February, so I had a lot of time to focus on certain things, and I think it went well off the ice and on the ice as well," said Chytil. "I'm ready for [the] season." While his lengthy injury history will remain a concern -- he's played in a total of just 78 games over the last three campaigns -- Chytil is projected to see at least middle-six minutes for the Canucks. His best year was 2022-23 with the Rangers, when he put up 45 points in 74 regular-season contests, and getting back to that level would make him a decent in-season pick-up for fantasy managers.

Heads to injured reserve Chytil (face) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Chytil's move to IR frees up a roster spot with a trio of Canucks forwards coming back from injuries after the Olympic break. He is out indefinitely due to a facial fracture, and given his lengthy history of head and upper-body injuries, it's possible he could be shut down for the year at some point.

Suffers facial fracture Chytil sustained a facial fracture when he was struck by the puck during Wednesday's practice, and he's out indefinitely, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports Friday.

Impact Chytil didn't play in Feb. 4's 5-2 loss to Vegas because of migraines. It's not clear if his migraine issues are behind him, but the facial fracture is expected to keep him out for a considerable amount of time, regardless. Chytil has made just 12 appearances this campaign, primarily because of injury issues, and he's consequently been limited to three goals, six PIM and 24 shots in 2025-26.

Being evaluated Chytil, who missed Feb. 4's 5-2 loss to Vegas because of migraines, exited Wednesday's practice after being struck in the head by a snap shot, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Impact Chytil will undergo X-rays. It's not clear if he has recovered from his migraine issue, so this head injury might be in addition to his existing problem. Chytil has three goals in 12 outings with Vancouver in 2025-26.

Set to miss Wednesday's clash Chytil (head) is slated to miss Wednesday's road game against the Golden Knights, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Head coach Adam Foote provided Chytil's update, stating that the 26-year-old forward is dealing with migraines. Wednesday's game is the Canucks' final contest before the Olympic break, meaning Chytil will get a few extra days of rest. Across 12 games this season, he has three goals and 24 shots on net. Barring any setbacks, he'll likely return to a bottom six role for the Canucks following the Olympic break.

Injured in Salt Lake City Chytil (undisclosed) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game in Utah.

Impact Chytil didn't come out for the start of the third period, and it's unclear what caused him to exit the game. The 26-year-old went minus-3 in 7:36 of ice time prior to departing. Considering his lengthy injury history, it'd be surprising to see Chytil suit in Vancouver's final game before the Olympic break, which will be in Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Chytil last played Oct. 19 in Washington, only seeing 5:02 of ice time before leaving the game with his upper-body injury. He missed the last 44 games. Chytil will center Brock Boeser and Drew O'Connor on the second line. Chytil has three goals in six games this season.

Game-time decision versus Devils Chytil (upper body) will be a game-time call against New Jersey on Friday after head coach Adam Foote told reporters, "It looks promising," Randip Janda of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Chytil hasn't played since Oct. 19 versus the Capitals due to his upper-body injury, spending the last 44 games on injured reserve. Injuries have plagued the Czech center over the last few years, limiting him to just 72 regular-season appearances over the previous three seasons. At this point, the 26-year-old Chytil is unlikely to reach the 10-goal or 20-point thresholds this year, given his lengthy absence.

He has contributed three goals, 15 shots on net, four blocked shots and three hits in six outings this season.
