The Filip Chytil concussion concerns have ramped up in recent days, as the Rangers center, out for a few weeks already, has not practiced and there are no signs of when he will return to the lineup. On the ice, this is a major blow to the Rangers, who have been forced to move Barclay Goodrow back to center while Nick Bonino centers the 3rd line. It’s not ideal, and it leaves a pretty large hole down the middle.
Luckily for the Blueshirts, they’ve been winning despite the Filip Chytil concussion, and have played solid team defense in doing so.
