Filip Chytil’s recovery is progressing steadily as he continues to participate fully in the Rangers’ practices and morning skates. This encouraging development comes after the 24-year-old experienced a setback in his recovery from a suspected concussion in late January. Chytil has been skating without any issues, increasing the likelihood of his return to the lineup at some point during this postseason.
Head coach Peter Laviolette acknowledged Chytil’s improvement, noting that he ‘looks good out there’ and ‘looks comfortable.’ Laviolette, however, emphasized that he would not be confirming personnel or lineup changes before the playoffs. The decision to bring Chytil back into the lineup will be based on various factors, including the team’s performance in the ongoing series against Washington.
Chytil’s potential return adds depth to the Rangers’ lineup. With the Washington series still underway, it remains to be seen when Laviolette will decide to insert Chytil into the lineup. The team has prioritized Chytil’s health throughout his recovery, and his return will be carefully managed to ensure his well-being and the team’s success.
