Rangers get best possible injury news on Filip Chytil
NY Post
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
The Czech center, who was examined by specialists in New York after a scary collision with K’Andre Miller last week, did not suffer a concussion and is set to join the Rangers in Calgary, industry sources told The Post on Tuesday.
Despite being cleared for the injury similar to the one that sidelined him for 72 of 82 regular-season games last season, Chytil is still considered day-to-day and may not jump right back into the lineup.
Head coach Peter Laviolette wouldn’t divulge much about the plan for Chytil once he joins the Rangers, declining to say whether or not the 25-year-old would practice on Wednesday or play against the Flames on Thursday.
“He’s coming back to join us and then we’ll make those decisions,” Laviolette said after an optional Rangers morning skate at Rogers Arena, ahead of the Blueshirts matchup with the Canucks.
Everything Chytil has said and done since this saga with his health continued 10 games into last season indicates that he probably just wanted to be around the team, especially after not being able to for a majority of last season during a tumultuous recovery from what is believed to be the fourth concussion of his eight-year NHL career.
