The hit sent the injury prone forward right down the tunnel, and the Vancouver Canucks delivered the bad news that he would not return to the game, marking another probable concussion for Chytil.

There is an obvious concern for his health, especially based on the long list of head injuries in his career.
He has suffered multiple, serious concussions that many would not be able to come back from, most notably the concussion that ended his 2024-25 season after getting off to a hot start with the Vancouver Canucks after being traded by the New York Rangers.
As it stands right now, there is no update on his condition, but everyone here at Canucks Daily wish him a speedy recovery.
