Chytil, Willander remain out of Vancouver Canucks lineup with injuries

Nov 9, 2026 | 12:12 PM

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks won’t have centre Filip Chytil or defenceman Tom Willander in the lineup on Monday.

Head coach Manny Malhotra says both players are “advancing along,” but won’t be ready to play when the Canucks host the Philadelphia Flyers.

He declined to give a timeline for when either player could return.

Chytil has been out with a shoulder injury since Oct. 29, when San Jose Sharks defenceman Darnell Nurse sent him into the boards with a hard hit. The Canucks placed him on injured reserve on Oct. 30.
