Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin Issues Key Injury Updates on Teddy Blueger, Filip Chytil & Thatcher Demko

As everyone knows by now, it's been an injury-filled start to the 2025-26 season for the Vancouver Canucks as Adam Foote's group has been without several players including Teddy Blueger, Filip Chytil, Thatcher Demko, Nils Hoglander and Victor Mancini, the latter of whom was activated off injured reserve a couple days ago.

Amid their injury issues, the Vancouver Canucks have been trying to keep their heads above water in a very competitive Pacific Division but it's been tough, with the club sitting in seventh with a record of 8-9-2 through 19 games.

Vancouver Canucks fans are hoping that the team can return to full health sooner rather than later to keep their playoff hopes alive and on Sunday, Patrik Allvin gave updates on a few of the team's players that are currently on the sidelines.

When meeting with reporters via Zoom on Sunday morning following the signing of David Kampf yesterday, Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin gave injury updates on forward Teddy Blueger and Filip Chytil, along with goaltender Thatcher Demko.

Starting off with Teddy Blueger, who was injured in mid-October during a game against the Washington Captials, but returned to the ice on November 5th, Allvin says that he think the Riga, Latvia native will still be out on a week-to-week basis.

Much like Teddy Blueger, Filip Chytil was also hurt against the Washington Capitals after being on the receiving end of a hit by Tom Wilson, which left him with what many believe is another concussion.

There was some good news regarding Chytil on Sunday as Patrik Allvin shared that the 26-year-old centerman is feeling better and has been skating back in Vancouver.

Finally, Allvin also gave an update on Thatcher Demko, who was out of the lineup for last weekend's back-to-back for "maintenance reasons" and in his return to the crease on November 11th, he lasted just one period before leaving due to injury.

The following morning, reports indicated that Demko will miss two-to-three weeks with a groin injury and while he didn't confirm a timeline or what the netminder is dealing with, Patrik Allvin said that the San Diego native is out week-to-week.

Without Demko, the Vancouver Canucks are going to be in tough as they look to remain in the hunt for a playoff spot and hopefully for the team's sake, he'll be back between the pipes before well before Christmas.
