Filip Chytil Appears Ready To Rock For Eastern Conference Finals
4 months agoNew York Rangers forward Filip Chytil (illness) was a full participant in Monday's practice and is likely to return for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. Chytil missed the final three games of New York's second-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes with an illness, which was terrible timing given he had just come back from a concussion and was only able to play in one game before being hit by the illness. The 24-year-old skated on the third line alongside Alexander Wennberg and Kaapo Kakko during practice and was also a part of the second powerplay unit. His return would be a major boost for the Rangers' depth, which will be needed against a hard-checking Florida team.
