Filip Chytil, a forward for the New York Rangers, is not suffering from a concussion and is anticipated to rejoin his teammates in Calgary shortly. This information comes from an individual familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity since the team has not publicly commented on Chytil’s status.

The source indicated that Chytil consulted with a specialist and is currently regarded as day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, suggesting that the 25-year-old Czech center may not be back in action right away. Chytil sustained the injury during a match against San Jose last week, raising some health concerns due to his past concussion issues. In the previous season, he missed a staggering 72 out of 82 regular-season games due to a concussion, sidelining him from November 2 until May 9, when he made his return for the postseason.

Chytil has been a vital component of the Rangers’ success alongside linemates Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko, contributing significantly to the team’s impressive start with ten victories in their first 15 games. Before his injury, Chytil had compiled an impressive record of four goals and five assists, totaling nine points.

In his absence, the New York Rangers managed to secure a win against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday. The team is wrapping up its Western Conference road trip, with upcoming games scheduled against Vancouver on Tuesday, Calgary on Thursday, and Edmonton on Saturday.
