His career-high is a 75-game campaign in 2018-19, his rookie season. Since then, injuries have slowed down the 24-year-old as times. Moreover, for a young player, who has battled with concussions, this does seem like a smart move. This will give him a chance to get away from the game. Also, he will be by friends and family to help him make the right decision on his timetable for return to action.<\/p>\n<p>Chytil has been productive, despite no goals thus far this season. He does have six assists. Also, he was playing on a line with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lafreal01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-29_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alexis Lafreniere<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/panarar01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-29_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Artemi Panarin<\/a>, a high-powered offensive line. Clearly, the organization has confidence in his offensive upside. Last season, he set career-highs in all offensive categories, with 22 goals, and 23 assists for 45 points.<\/p>\n<h3>What Does This Mean for the Rangers<\/h3>\n<p>For right now, this does not mean a lot for the Rangers in terms of timing. Chytil has been out for over four weeks already, and the team has been able to adjust. They have slotted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/trochvi01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-29_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vincent Trocheck<\/a> in between the previously mentioned wingers. The Rangers were playing terrific hockey with Chytil in the lineup, and luckily for them, have continued in his absence. The important thing is Chytil gets the time it needs, to be at his best.<\/p>\n<p>James Carey Lauder-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is an injury update to New York Rangers Centre Filip Chytil, and the news does not sound good.
