The Vancouver Canucks are facing another injury setback as defenseman Filip Hronek is expected to be sidelined for an extended period due to an upper-body injury. Hronek left the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins after a hard hit, and this marks a troubling trend for the player since joining the Canucks.

With Hronek out, the Canucks will need to adjust their lineup ahead of their upcoming game against the Buffalo Sabres. His absence will be felt, especially considering his significant ice time and contributions on both defense and special teams.
