Gabriel Vilardi Set to Rejoin Windsor Spitfires

Vilardi recently resumed skating after ongoing treatment for a lingering back injury, under the supervision of Los Angeles Kings medical and training staff.

The Kings made Vilardi their first-round pick, #11 overall, at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft in Chicago back in June.

Rychel says although Vilardi is coming back to resume practicing with the Spits, he will be limited to no contact and isn’t ready to get back to game action just yet.

“Gabe will be back with us for two weeks,” Rychel began. “He’ll go back to L.A. at that point to be re-evaluated. For now, both (Kings GM) Rob Blake and I think he’s best off getting back into the swing of things here, to see how far he’s come.”
