Filip Hronek of the Vancouver Canucks is out due to an undisclosed injury sustained during a recent game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Coach Rick Tocchet confirmed Hronek will miss the upcoming match against the Buffalo Sabres while evaluations continue.
In response to Hronek's absence, the Canucks have recalled Mark Friedman from the AHL and sent down Arshdeep Bains. Hronek has contributed significantly this season, pairing with captain Quinn Hughes and recording eight points in 21 games.
The Canucks are facing multiple injuries, including all-star goalie Thatcher Demko and center J.T. Miller, who is on leave for personal reasons. Tocchet emphasized the importance of teamwork in overcoming these challenges.
