NEWARK — Everyone, including Filip Chytil himself, knows the 22-year-old Czech needs to bring his faceoff win percentage up. But regardless of that weakness in his game, Chytil, about to start his fourth year with the Rangers, remains adamant that his future with the Blueshirts is at center, not on the wing.
"I'm a center, and I want to play center,’’ Chytil said this week. "If coach puts me on the wing, I will play there. But for me, the center is my position and I want to stay there.’’
Chytil was at center Friday in the Rangers’ first road game of the preseason against the Devils at Prudential Center.
