This evening Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet spoke to the media and gave a devastating update on the injury Filip Chytil suffered last night.

Canucks forwardFilip Chytil suffered a scary injury last night after hitting his head along the boards.
The injury immediately took Chytil out of the game and to the locker room with head coach Rick Tocchet unable to provide an update in the hours after the game.
Since arriving in Vancouver in the J.T. Miller trade Chytil had been a solid piece for the Canucks but now once again is facing a familiar problem with concussions.
According to a new interview with head coach Rick Tocchet Chytil has entered concussion protocol and will be out tonight against the Utah Hockey Club.
While this on its own would be frustrating news for Chytil and Canucks fans it calls into question a larger discussion about Chytil's future in the NHL as he has suffered several concussions over the last year.

Could Filip Chytil's Career Be In Jeopardy

Last season Chytil sustained a concussion while playing with the New York Rangers and at that time he returned home to Czechia to ponder his future in hockey.
After several months away Chytil returned but has still been followed by the looming possibility of yet another concussion.
As of now, it seems Chytil's plan is to return to the Canucks once he clears concussion protocol but one has to wonder if a discussion will be had between himself and the team regarding these repeated injuries.
As more details become available on Chytil's recovery and potential return to the Vancouver Canucks lineup we will pass along the latest news to you.
