Unfortunately, the hit sent the 26-year old forward down the tunnel, and not long after the Vancouver Canucks organization confirmed it was as bad as it looked, by confirming Chytil would not return to the game.

Certainly very possible that Chytil has sustained another concussion, putting his NHL career in question once again given his long list of head injuries in his career.
He has suffered multiple, serious concussions that many would not be able to come back from, most notably the concussion that ended his 2024-25 season after getting off to a hot start with the Vancouver Canucks after being traded by the New York Rangers.
On behalf of everyone here at NY Rangers Insider we truly hope it's nothing too serious and that he has avoided another concussion.
