Filip Chytil scores twice in season opener

Filip Chytil netted a pair of goals in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the Flames. Chytil scored both of his goals in Vancouver's dominant third period, finishing the contest with five shots, a plus-2 rating, and two PIM.

Fantasy Impact

This is a fantastic start for Chytil, who is opening the season as the Canucks' second-line center. While it's a valuable role, the team has a notable lack of center depth, meaning Chytil will need to produce consistently to solidify his position. After posting 26 points in 56 games last season, he has some fantasy appeal due to his deployment, but managers should view him as a volatile asset until he proves he can maintain this level of production.
