Canucks' Filip Chytil: Not with team for Thursday's game
Rotowire
Chytil (concussion) didn't travel with the Canucks ahead of Thursday's game against the Blues, Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports.
The Canucks begin a six-game road trip Thursday, but Chytil will be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup due to a concussion. It's not yet clear whether he'll join the team later in the road trip, but his next chance to suit up will be Saturday against the Rangers.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Out with concussion
Rotowire
Chytil (concussion) won't play against Utah on Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
The Canucks will see how Chytil feels over the next 48 hours before determining if he will travel for the team's upcoming six-game road trip. Due to concussion protocol, Chytil will presumably miss Tuesday's game against Winnipeg. Jonathan Lekkerimaki will likely replace Chytil in Sunday's lineup.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Suffers injury Saturday
Rotowire
Chytil (upper body) left Saturday's 6-2 win over Chicago late in the third period and there was no update on his status after game, per Kevin Woodley of NHL.com.
Chytil stumbled when he attempted to get off the ice, which wasn't a good sign, given his concussion history. The 25-year-old forward has two goals and four assists in 15 games with the Canucks since being acquired from the Rangers in late January. If Chytil can't play against Utah on Sunday, Jonathan Lekkerimaki will probably be in the lineup.
Chytil scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken.
Chytil hadn't scored over the last seven games after finding twine in his Canucks debut on Feb. 2. He's earned a total of six points over nine appearances with his new team, and he's at 13 goals, 26 points, 116 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 50 contests this season. Chytil has settled in nicely on the second line and first power-play unit, and he should be considered in fantasy formats where the focus is on scoring output.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Registers two assists
Rotowire
Chytil notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
This was Chytil's first multi-point effort as a Canuck, as he had a hand in both of Conor Garland's goals Wednesday. Through seven games since he was traded from the Rangers, Chytil has racked up five points and 21 shots on net while filling a second-line role. Overall, he's at 12 goals, 13 assists, 110 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 48 appearances this season, but it's clear he has more scoring upside in Vancouver than he did on Broadway thanks to his larger role with his new team.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Supplies helper in win
Rotowire
Chytil logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.
Chytil again had the most ice time among Vancouver's centers in his second game with the team. The 25-year-old has added two points and six shots on net since he was traded from the Rangers, and it appears the change of scenery has helped him land a larger role. Chytil is now at 22 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 42 appearances this season. Fantasy managers should at least have an eye on Chytil to see if he can sustain his offense in the long run -- he could be a strong addition off the waiver wire for the stretch run.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Makes good first impression
Rotowire
Chytil scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
Chytil's goal came after a Red Wing failed to clear the puck after a poke-check, with it landing right on Chytil's stick. The 25-year-old danced around the rest of the defense and flung home his first goal as a Canuck in his team debut. The center also logged 20:03 of ice time, most among Vancouver centers, and won nine of his 12 faceoffs. The Canucks have an opening for second-line center following the trade that saw Chytil swap teams with J.T. Miller, and Chytil made a good first impression to earn that spot over Pius Suter, who also scored but went 5-for-16 on faceoffs from the third line. Overall, Chytil has 12 goals, 21 points, 92 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 42 appearances this season. Given his role and the talent around him, he's worth considering for fantasy.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Highlights return for J.T. Miller
Rotowire
Chytil was traded to the Canucks from the Rangers on Friday, along with Victor Mancini and a protected first-round draft pick, in exchange for J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington, Larry Brooks of the New York Post and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet report.
Chytil will be the NHL player to replace Miller on the Canucks' roster. In his own right, Chytil has performed at a decent level on the Rangers' third line, earning 20 points over 41 appearances this season. He topped out at 45 points over 74 games in 2022-23. Once Chytil joins the Canucks, likely ahead of Sunday's game versus the Red Wings, he'll compete with Pius Suter for second-line minutes. More playing time could help Chytil's scoring output, but it likely won't elevate him to the level of widespread fantasy relevance.
Rangers' Filip Chytil: Snaps six-game goal drought
Rotowire
Chytil had a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.
Chytil's third-period deflection put the Rangers up 4-1. It snapped a six-game goal drought (one assist). Rumors continue to swirl about being included in a possible trade for J.T. Miller, but nothing has come from it. Chytil's value would go up should that occur, as he'd go from being a 3C to a 2C and have a lot more opportunity. Right now, his 11 goals, nine assists and 85 shots in 39 games makes him wire-worthy in redraft formats.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Generates assist in win
Rotowire
Chytil recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over Utah.
Chytil had been held off the scoresheet in his previous two games, though he also missed two contests due to an upper-body injury in that span. The 25-year-old has resumed his usual role as the Rangers' third-line center since returning Tuesday. He's now at 18 points, 76 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 35 games, giving him some fantasy appeal as an offense-only option in deep formats.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Ready to rock
Rotowire
Chytil (upper body) is set to play Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Chytil missed two games with the injury. The 25-year-old center will return to his usual third-line role, and he'll be flanked by Chris Kreider and Arthur Kaliyev for this contest. Chytil had four goals and one assist over five games prior to his injury, so his fantasy managers will hope the absence didn't cost him too much momentum.

Chytil was injured Tuesday against Dallas and was unable to practice Wednesday. The 25-year-old has 10 goals and seven assists through 33 games in 2024-25. Look for Arthur Kaliyev to move up from the fourth line to take Chytil's spot in the lineup.

Chytil left Tuesday's clash with Dallas after logging just 9:01 of ice time in which he generated one shot and a minus-2 rating. Without the 25-year-old center on the ice Wednesday, Jonny Brodzinski shifted to center while Arthur Kaliyev moved up to a third-line role ahead of Thursday's matchup with New Jersey.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Chytil (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Stars, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Chytil did not come out of the locker room for the third period. His long history of upper-body injuries adds an extra layer of concern to his status. Chytil will likely be evaluated ahead of Thursday's home game before the Devils. The Rangers begin a three-game road trip Saturday with stops in Vegas, Colorado and Utah.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Off to great start in 2025
Rotowire
Chytil scored two goals on three shots and went plus-2 in 13:57 of ice time in Sunday's 6-2 win over Chicago.
Chytil gave the Rangers a 3-1 lead early in the middle frame before adding an insurance marker at 8:36 of the third period. This was Chytil's second multi-goal outing of the campaign. The 25-year-old has picked up the pace lately -- he's riding a four-game point streak consisting of four goals and one assist. Chytil is occupying a middle-six role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit, and through 32 appearances this season, the left-shot center has provided 10 goals, 17 points and a plus-8 rating.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Chytil scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Chytil has two goals and an assist during a three-game point streak, matching his longest of the campaign. The 25-year-old center is up to eight goals, seven assists, 68 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 31 appearances. He continues to play on the third line and second power-play unit, though his modest offense limits his fantasy value to deeper formats.
