When Filip Chytil and Ryan Lindgren got called up from the Rangers’ Hartford farm team, they were ready to play right away.
Chytil, who failed to make the Rangers out of training camp despite being the first choice to be the second-line center, scored a goal in the first game after his recall, and scored again in the next game. He entered Saturday night’s game in Montreal with six goals and two assists in 11 games for the Rangers.
Lindgren, a rugged, defensive-minded defenseman, had a goal and four assists — the first points of his NHL career — in his first 10 games entering Saturday.
