Filip Chytil injury update: His season Is now in doubt after a concussion setback from Canucks forward

Filip Chytil, a forward for the Vancouver Canucks, has been hit with another unfortunate misfortune as he recovers from a concussion. The team has confirmed that he will not travel with them on a six-game road trip, raising serious concerns about his available playing time for the rest of the season. With only 14 games left in the season, it would seem that a return from Chytil is still a long way off.

In injury, he was hard hit from behind at full strong force by Dickinson, and he crashed head-first into the boards. The Canucks have taken a very careful approach to his recovery. That is, Tocchet said, the team will be precisely monitoring Filip Chytil over the next 48 hours before making any further decisions. Yet, he will miss a very crucial trip with the team, which raises questions about whether this player will return at all this season.

While it is certainly possible that Chytil could be back with the team further down the road if his condition were to improve, the real chances are clear that it is significantly slim. Given the severity of his concussion, rushing him back would be highly dangerous. The Canucks' medical staff is focused on long-term health, making it even more likely that he may miss the remainder of the regular season.

Chytil, who formerly skated for the New York Rangers, was expected to be a formidable addition to the lineup of the Canucks. With multiple injuries seriously limiting his contributions in the present season, his absence has now left Vancouver with a major hole while the team makes arrangements for their lineup in a vital playoff race. As the Canucks vie for playoff status, this late blow really hurts losing Chytil. His offensive prowess and seasoning would have been invaluable. Now the Canucks will have to depend on others to step up and fill the void he has created.

It is still hazy about the entire road to recovery for Filip Chytil, and his absence from the Canucks road trip does not bode well for the rest of the season. Health is the paramount priority the team is putting above all else, letting Chytil heal from whatever trauma he has sustained due to concussion issues.

With playoffs less than a month away, the Canucks will be faced with some serious challenges with him out of the lineup. There is a very small possibility that he could unlikely return before the end of the season, but the odds keep getting steeper against that possibility. Then, if Chytil misses the entire season, the Canucks will be preparing for the postseason without him, hoping others can fill his absence.
