Filip Chytil News
Filip Chytil will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins (upper body).

Chytil left the Rangers' previous contest vs. Chicago after just 4:48 TOI due to an upper-body injury but still managed to pick up a goal and an assist with two SOG in his limited time. There was a chance he would be forced to miss Tuesday, but he announced in the morning that he is "good to go" and will play vs. Pittsburgh.

Chytil (upper-body) is questionable to play Monday in Pittsburgh.

Chytil collected one goal and one assist in 4:48 TOI before exiting Sunday's game in Chicago with an upper-body injury. After Chytil left, Barclay Goodrow moved to centre, and Vitaly Kravtsov moved up the lineup, look for that to remain if he can't go Tuesday.

Filip Chytil is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday (lower body)

Chytil missed the Rangers' previous two contests due to a lower-body injury but is expected to return Wednesday. It will be a welcome return for the 23-year-old, who has four goals, 11 points and is a +6 with 30 SOG through 19 GP this season.

Chytil (upper-body) is not expected to play Saturday in Boston.

Chytil suffered an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Thursday and is not expected to play Saturday in Boston. With both Chytil and Andrew Copp (lower-body) not likely to be available, look for two of Jonny Brodzinski, Greg McKegg and/or Julien Gauthier to draw into the lineup.

Chytil is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Chytil played just 4:08 TOI on Saturday before leaving the game with a lower-body injury and not returning. The rangers did not provide much of an update on Chytils' status but called him "day-to-day," which makes him questionable for Monday's game vs. the Kings.
