COLUMBUS, Ohio — Before their 5-3 victory over the Blue Jackets on Saturday, the Rangers placed third-line center Filip Chytil on injured reserve with an upper-body injury and recalled center Greg McKegg from AHL Hartford.
Chytil was hurt in the Nov. 6 game in Calgary when he collided with teammate Sammy Blais and missed Monday’s 4-3 win over Florida at the Garden. He skated on his own Thursday and Friday but did not travel with the team to Ohio.
Because he was injured last Saturday, his stint on IR is backdated to Sunday, the day after his last game.
