With time winding down on their season, the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> returned to the practice ice at Rogers Arena on Monday morning. Three veteran players \u2013 Kevin Lankinen, Filip Hronek, and Evander Kane \u2013 were absent from the 40-minute on-ice session.<\/p>\n

Two of the three are nursing injuries and are unlikely to play on Tuesday night against Vegas.<\/p>\n

*No Hronek or Kane<\/p>\n

As he has been for the better part of a month now, Filip Hronek was excused from practice with a maintenance day, but he will be ready to play against the Golden Knights.<\/p>\n

Evander Kane is unlikely to play on Tuesday. Kane was saluted by the hockey club for his 1000th NHL game prior to Saturday\u2019s contest with Utah. The winger played just 11:52 seconds \u2013 his third lowest ice time of the season. Foote mentioned again after practice that Kane has been dealing with a nagging injury for a while now. The coach said the club will not be shutting Kane down for the season yet, but with just six games remaining on the schedule, it may get to that point. Foote name-checked Ty Mueller<\/a> and Nils H\u00f6glander as guys he wants to give more ice time to in the final games of the season. Those two skated as the wings on the fourth line at practice with Aatu R\u00e4ty in the middle.<\/p>\n

Curtis Douglas skated as the extra forward on Monday.<\/p>\n

Filip Chytil joins group at end of practice. Having long conversation with Adam Foote<\/p>\n

At the end of practice, injured forward Filip Chytil emerged from the tunnel and took to the ice wearing a full bubble to protect his face. He and Adam Foote had a lengthy conversation before Chytil joined the few players that were still skating. Chytil then stayed out after his teammates had left the ice and had a long one-on-one session with Canucks skills coach Jason Krog. Foote was asked if there was any chance Chytil could dress for one of the team\u2019s final games, but the coach essentially shot down that notion. Foote said the medical staff would like to see Chytil participate in a couple of practices before he heads home for the summer so that he feels positively about his recovery. But it does not sound like Chytil will play again this season.<\/p>\n

What we heard<\/p>\n

Adam Foote on what he\u2019s looking for from late season practices: \u201cGuys were going. They were skating hard. It\u2019s almost like you don\u2019t want it to come to an end here. You want to keep going and keep building. So that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to keep doing. They had a great attitude today. They\u2019ve been pushing hard and I don\u2019t see that changing.\u201d<\/p>\n
