Filip Chytil’s health is still up in the air. According to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today, Peter Laviolette confirmed there is no update on Chytil’s current status and that he is still being evaluated.

As concern grows about Chytil's future even without a long-term diagnosis, the Rangers might need to start thinking about filling his spot.

Brodzinski had played seven of the first 10 games of the season as the fourth-line right wing while forward Jimmy Vesey was on long-term injured reserve.
