Slated to be available for Thursday Chytil (illness) is slated to play in Thursday's Game 6 against Carolina, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

Impact Chytil returned from a head injury last Thursday, but after recording a shot in 12:02 of ice time in that contest, the 24-year-old missed the past two outings due to the illness. He's also been dealing with some soreness unrelated to his previous head injury. Chytil is projected to serve in a bottom-six role versus the Hurricanes.

Unavailable Monday Chytil (illness) will not play Monday against the Hurricanes, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact On top of his illness, Chytil is reportedly also dealing with some soreness that's unrelated to the head injury that cost him nearly the entire 2023-24 campaign. He logged one shot and one hit in 12:02 of ice time during the Game 3 win against Carolina, his first game since Nov. 2. He'll be considered question for Game 6 on Thursday, if necessary.

Impact The fact that Chytil didn't take part in line rushes would certainly indicate that he won't be in action Monday but fantasy players will have to wait until closer to puck drop for official confirmation on the center's status. If he were to be cleared to play, Chytil would likely knock Jonny Brodzinski from the lineup while filling a bottom-six role.

Impact Chytil was on the ice for 12:02 minutes in Game 3, his first appearance since early November. There's a chance the Rangers hold him out Saturday, due to the 24-year-old center's extended absence, which would allow Matt Rempe to slot back into the lineup.

Rangers' Filip Chytil returns to lineup for Game 3 Chytil has not appeared in a game since Nov. 2, when he suffered a concussion.

MAY 9 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Set to return Thursday Chytil (head) was activated off long-term injured reserve and is expected to play in Game 3 against Carolina on Thursday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

Impact Chytil had six assists in 10 regular-season contests, but he hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 2 because of the injury. He's projected to serve on the third line alongside Alexander Wennberg and Kaapo Kakko. Matt Rempe is set to be a healthy scratch for the first time in the 2024 postseason.

Traveling with team Chytil (head) will travel to Washington with the team in hopes of playing Saturday for Game 3, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Impact Chytil only played in 10 games with the big club during the regular season, recording six assists and 22 shots on goal. The 24-year-old has played in 30 career playoff games, logging eight goals and five assists. He could provide a huge boost to the forward depth for New York if he returns in this series.

Medically cleared Chytil (head) skated with the team Friday after being medically cleared, though he remains without a clear recovery timeline, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Impact At this point, Chytil probably shouldn't be expected to feature during the Rangers' last two regular-season contests but could possibly be an option in the playoffs. The center has been out of action since Nov. 2 versus the Hurricanes, a stretch of 70 games on injured reserve. If Chytil does get into the lineup, it will likely be in a third-line role, especially at the onset.
