Filip Hronek is anticipated to make his return to the Vancouver Canucks lineup as they face the Winnipeg Jets tonight. Head coach Rick Tocchet confirmed that the 27-year-old defenceman has been diligently working to test his fitness following a recent injury layoff.

Hronek's absence began after a tough hit against the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 27. With a successful procedure for a lower-body issue, he is cleared to play as the Canucks manage multiple injury setbacks this season.
