Chytil Returns to Canucks Lineup After Missing 44 Games with Upper-Body Injury

Filip Chytil (upper body) is set to return to the Vancouver Canucks' lineup Friday against New Jersey, per Randip Janda. Chytil last played on Oct. 19, seeing only 5:02 of ice time before exiting with his upper-body injury, which caused him to miss the last 44 games. He will center Brock Boeser and Drew O'Connor on the second line. The forward has recorded three goals in six games this season.
