Filip Chytil’s been down this road before, first with the New York Rangers and now with the Vancouver Canucks.
It’s the road to recovery after sustaining a head-related injury.
So, when discussing his current health status recently after his 2024-25 season was cut short by a concussion, Chytil wasn’t shy about using a well-worn cliche.
“Knock on wood, I feel very good and feel very positive,” Chytil told the 100% Canucks Podcast.
Forgive the soon-to-be 26-year-old if he’s a bit cautious and superstitious when it comes to his health. Not even a change of scenery to the Pacific Northwest changed his luck for the better after the Rangers traded Chytil to the Canucks in late January.
