With three points in six games, an average time on ice of 12:25, and a faceoff win percentage of 51%, Chytil has been a great bottom-six forward. His advanced stats are a little strange, however. A Corsi For percentage of 53.2%, and a relative Corsi of -3.2, he&#8217;s been all over the place. Last season, he had 22 points in 67 games, averaging about 13 minutes of ice time per game.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means For the Rangers<\/h3>\n<p>While Chytil isn&#8217;t exactly the most dominant player on the ice, losing a bottom-six center does hurt. As of now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/z\/zibanmi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mika Zibanejad<\/a>, Vincent Trochek, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/carpery01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Carpenter<\/a> are the only other listed centers on the team. That isn&#8217;t exactly the deepest lineup. To make matters worse, a winger will have to move out of his comfort zone to fill that hole Chytil leaves open. Or, the Rangers will have to take a chance with a call-up to slot in his place. Head coach Gerand Gallant could also decide to move Carpenter up to the third line, but considering he&#8217;s played less than 10 minutes (on average) per game this season, that doesn&#8217;t seem likely.<\/p>\n<p>In a highly competitive Metropolitan Divison, the Rangers will need every win they can get. With expectations high, they will need to get off to a strong start. Losing anyone for any time longer than a game or two is going to hurt them. Even with a third line center, it is apparent how this team needs everyone playing their best to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"44utYSFIRRRqW7w0uM_O0A\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1435970997\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'44utYSFIRRRqW7w0uM_O0A',sig:'ZjALPPdjcz3xUhJaAz2MFArfB3JzTDIia6OE6NVVoIk=',w:'594px',h:'387px',items:'1435970997',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A New York Rangers center has been sidelined for at least a week.
