Filip Chytil Reportedly Avoids Major Injury

The New York Rangers and Filip Chytil have avoided the worst case scenario.

According to Larry Brooks of The New York Post, Chytil did not suffer a concussion and he is expected to join the Rangers in Calgary.

Brooks added that Chytil is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury, but he still may not jump back into the lineup right away.

This is great and relieving news for the Rangers as Chytil has a long history of concussions. It was feared that he might have suffered another concussion after colliding with K’Andre Miller last week.

Chytil was forced to exit last week’s game against the Winnipeg Jets and has not practiced since while he did not travel with the rest of the team to start their four-game road trip.

It’s unclear what exact injury Chytil sustained, but it does not appear to be overly serious and likely won’t keep him out for much longer given these recent reports.
