<a href="https://canucksarmy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vancouver Canucks</a> head coach Rick Tocchet provided some more information on the injuries surrounding centres Elias Pettersson, Filip Chytil and Nils Aman, winger Nils Hoglander, and defenceman Tyler Myers <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/scenes-vancouver-canucks-practice-aman-exits-injury-hoglander-sheds-non-contact-jersey">after the team practiced</a> on Friday.

The biggest news was that Myers is not likely to play in Saturday&#8217;s game against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/anaheim-ducks/line-combinations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anaheim Ducks</a> after sustaining an injury on Wednesday against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/seattle-kraken/line-combinations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seattle Kraken</a>.
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be day-to-day,&#8221; said Tocchet. &#8220;Something happened last game. He tried to play through it for, that&#8217;s Mysy&#8230; so he probably won&#8217;t play tomorrow.&#8221;
The Canucks got another scare in practice on Friday as well, as Aman crashed into the boards and needed help off the ice.
&#8220;[Aman]&#8217;s getting evaluated,&#8221; said Tocchet. &#8220;[The crash] didn&#8217;t look good.&#8221;
Aman was seen leaving practice with a sling around his left arm.
Tocchet also provided updates on Pettersson and Chytil, as both are still out of the lineup. Pettersson is still day-to-day with his upper-body injury, while Chytil is a bit more doubtful to return from his concussion this season, especially if the Canucks fail to make the playoffs. However, Chytil was able to watch practice.
&#8220;[Chytil&#8217;s concussion] wasn&#8217;t as bad as last year&#8217;s, but who knows,&#8221; said Tocchet.
The best news was that Hoglander is close to a return after missing the last five games with an undisclosed injury. According to head coach Rick Tocchet, he won&#8217;t be playing on Saturday, but he should be back in the next few days.
&#8220;[Hoglander] will probably phone me tonight and want to play, but I think we got to just wait a game or two to see for him,&#8221; said Tocchet.
&#8220;It sucks to just watch and you can&#8217;t be on the ice,&#8221; said Hoglander &#8220;It feels good to be in a normal jersey again.&#8221;
The Canucks currently sit in fifth in the Pacific Division with a 34-28-13 record, and are eight points behind the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/minnesota-wild/line-combinations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota Wild</a> for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference with one game in hand. Vancouver will look to end a three-game losing streak when they host the Ducks on Saturday at 1 p.m. PST.
