Canucks' Filip Chytil Dealing With Migraines After Early Exit, Unlikely Before Olympic Break

The team disclosed migraines for the 26-year-old, a sensitive development given his recent concussion layoff.

Overview

  • He left Monday’s 6-2 loss to Utah after the second period and was ruled out by the team for the remainder of the game.
  • Head coach Adam Foote said Tuesday that Chytil is dealing with migraines and is unlikely to play Wednesday in Las Vegas.
  • At practice, Aatu Räty filled in for Chytil as Vancouver prepared for its final game before the NHL Olympic break.
  • Chytil logged 7:36 in Utah with a minus-3 rating and has three goals and no assists in 12 games this season.
  • The forward missed more than half the season after an October head injury from a Tom Wilson hit and has appeared in 27 games for Vancouver since the J.T. Miller trade.
