Chytil Held Out of UBC Practice, Evaluated for Upper-Body Injury

Filip Chytil was held out of Canucks practice at UBC on Friday as the team evaluates him for a heavy upper-body hit he absorbed from Darnell Nurse on Thursday. The concern is that Chytil may have aggravated the shoulder muscle injury that already cost him eight games this preseason. If he cannot suit up against the Maple Leafs, Paul Cotter will slide into the middle.
