Tonight, Vancouver Canucks head coach Adam Foote has provided an injury update on Filip Chytil after the brutal hit he sustained from Tom Wilson.

Heading into the season, Filip Chytil's health was going to be a key factor in the Vancouver Canucks success on the ice.
Chytil who came over in the J.T. Miller trade has struggled with a history of concussion issues going back to his time with the Rangers.
Unfortunately, it seems that terrible injury luck has continued after a brutal collision with Tom Wilson left Chytil needing help to get off the ice.
Even more egregious is the fact that Wilson was not penalized for this hit on Chytil.
Now, with the game over, head coach Adam Foote was able to give an update on Chytil's status and overall health after the hit.

Adam Foote Provides Unfortunate News on Filip Chytil's Injury

During his post game press conference, Foote was able to provide some news on Chytil's status both immediate and going forward.
It's an awful feeling. I think we're all human and whether it's a guy on their team or our team, I think everyone feels that. He's being evaluated and we'll see where he's at.

This update from Foote essentially confirms the idea that Chytil suffered a head injury which will now once again call into question the future of his career.
After his concussion last season, many fans and analysts expected Chytil to consider retirement.
Now, after even further injury, those discussions will likely be had once again and potentially be more seriously considered.
From the Canucks' perspective their already thin center depth now becomes incredibly limited especially after the recent reassignment of 2025 first-round pick Braeden Cootes to the WHL.
As more updates are provided on Chytil's status and overall health after this unfortunate moment we will pass those details along to you.
