Filip Chytil Engages in Practice Sessions with the Rangers, Eyes Possible Comeback for Playoffs

Friday, April 12th, 2024

Filip Chytil has resumed training with the New York Rangers and may contribute during the playoffs, according to sources.

While the timeline for his return is not clear, the Rangers plan to carefully track his recovery. His participation in practice is a clear sign of progress in his rehabilitation.

Chytil faced exclusion for the remainder of the season in January due to ongoing upper body issues, notably head injuries, with his most recent complication arising during a morning practice session that led to his early departure.

Ensuring Chytil's health is a top priority for the Rangers, who have left the decision of his game readiness up to him. This decision comes after he showed significant improvement in his rehabilitation.

Chytil has acknowledged the difficulties he, his family, and the Rangers organization have faced in recent months.

Nevertheless, he stayed positive and committed to making a strong comeback.

To bolster their lineup at center, the Rangers acquired Alexander Wenneberg from Seattle, who has made considerable contributions since his arrival in March.

Chytil, selected in the first round by the Rangers in 2017, has played in only 10 games this season, accumulating six points. His return is anticipated to enhance the Rangers' performance.
