The open-ice hit crumpled Chytil to the ice and eventually knocked him woozily down to the tunnel and out of the game.<\/p>\n<p>The play occurred with 40 seconds remaining in the first period, and the Capitals down 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was initially whistled for a major penalty due to the severity of the hit and to give officials a chance to review video of the play. Ultimately, Wilson\u2019s body check was ruled \u201ca good hockey hit,\u201d and he was not penalized at all.<\/p>\n<p>Chytil was officially ruled out of the rest of the game due to injury at the beginning of the second period.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Forwards Filip Chytil and Jonathan Lekkerim\u00e4ki will not return to today\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Canucks\/status\/1979966710057766918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wilson\u2019s hit puts into focus just how dangerous some bodychecks can still be in the NHL, even if they\u2019re landed clean and by the letter of the law.
