What happened: General Manager Ryan Johnson announced that forward Filip Chytil has been placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Sept. 24. The roster move follows his early exit from a recent preseason game.

Why it matters: The transaction provides additional roster flexibility during training camp as the club navigates evaluations. The move ensures the forward will be sidelined for the immediate phase of the exhibition schedule.

What to watch: The club will continue its exhibition slate while finalizing the roster for the upcoming 2025-26 regular season.
