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.
The 27-year-old Czech forward has two assists on the season after missing the first eight games with an upper-body injury he picked up in pre-season play.
Willander, a 21-year-old Swedish blue liner, is set to miss his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. He has three assists over 16 games this season and is averaging 20:25 in ice time.
