Chytil, Willander remain out of Vancouver Canucks lineup with injuries
Vancouver Canucks will be without centre Filip Chytil and defenceman Tom Willander for Monday's game. Both players are making progress, but won't be ready to play when the Canucks face the Philadelphia Flyers. Head coach Manny Malhotra did not provide a timeline for their return. Chytil suffered a shoulder injury on October 29 after a collision with San Jose Sharks defenceman Darnell Nurse.
He was placed on injured reserve on October 30 and has two assists in the season so far. Willander, a Swedish blueliner, is suffering from a lower-body injury and missed his fourth straight game. He has three assists in 16 games this season and averages 20:25 in ice time.
