However, he suffered an injury setback and had to be helped off the ice on Friday during a practice session. The 24-year-old had been out of the lineup since early November.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The organization&#8217;s top priority throughout this process has been Filip&#8217;s health and we will continue to support him in his recovery with an aim to return for the 2024-25 season,&#8221; the team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/new-york-rangers-filip-chytil-injury-status-update-out-for-season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Chytil had six assists in 10 games played during the 2023-24 campaign. He had a Corsi for of 58.9 and a relative Corsi of 12.9. The Czech pivot was taken in the first round, 21st overall of the 2017 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s only played for the New York Rangers during his seven-year NHL career. Chytil has a total of 64 goals and 80 assists for 144 points in 337 career games.<\/p>\n<h3>What It Means<\/h3>\n<p>This is a devastating blow to a dynamic young player with a rough injury history. Chytil has been in and out the lineup due to a number of injury problems. He&#8217;s a very solid player for the Rangers when he does suit up.

However, that future has been cast into doubt due to a very serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers will likely have to dip into the trade market to find themselves a good second-line centre. New York will likely have to pony up in order to get themselves someone to become a solid part of the team&#8217;s middle six.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Rangers will be without a key forward as there has been another Filip Chytil injury setback.
