Vancouver Canucks Place Forward Filip Chytil on Injured Reserve
Vancouver recalled Jacob Quillan from Abbotsford after Chytil was hurt on a hard hit and has two assists in 7 games this season.
- On Friday, the Vancouver Canucks placed forward Filip Chytil on injured reserve following a hard hit from San Jose Sharks defenceman Darnell Nurse during Thursday's 3-2 loss.
- Chytil missed Friday's practice for evaluation after the collision, which appeared to aggravate a preseason shoulder injury; the 27-year-old centre had appeared in seven games this season for Vancouver.
- Head coach Manny Malhotra said the team must "raise the level" when key players are sidelined, as Chytil is expected to miss at least seven days and three games.
- In a corresponding move, the Canucks recalled centre Jacob Quillan from the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League, acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 15.
- Quillan has thrived in the AHL this season, tallying five goals and two assists in five games, positioning him to potentially contribute on an NHL energy line.
