Filip Chytil Injury: Placed on injured reserve

Chytil (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Monday.

The exact nature of Chytil's upper-body injury hasn't been revealed by the team, but the obvious concern will be that he is dealing with a concussion given his history. The 26-year-old center was on the receiving end of a hard hit by the Capitals' Tom Wilson, for which there won't be any additional disciplinary action. With Chytil unavailable, the Canucks recalled forward Joseph LaBate ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
