Chytil logged an assist and four hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Chytil has three points over his last five games. He was listed on the top line Sunday and ranked second among the Rangers' centers with 19:06 of ice time, one second less than Vincent Trocheck. Head coach Peter Laviolette had to get creative with Artemi Panarin (upper body) out Sunday, but Chytil has played well enough to get a longer look in the top six. He has 12 points, 49 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-9 rating over 23 appearances -- don't expect his physicality from Sunday to become the norm.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Snaps nine-game goal drought
Rotowire
Chytil scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Kraken.
Chytil scored his fifth goal of the season at 2:50 of the second period to give New York a 2-1 lead. It was the 25-year-old's first marker since Oct. 29. Chytil has a lengthy injury history, and he's yet to play a full 82-game season in his eight-year NHL career. That makes Chytil a risky option to rely on for consistent production, especially when considering his third-line role. The 6-foot-2 center has garnered five goals, five assists and a plus-9 rating through 19 appearances.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Makes key play in return
Rotowire
Chytil had one shot on goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
Chytil returned to action after missing seven games due to an upper-body injury. He didn't get credit on any of New York's goals, but Chytil was indirectly responsible for setting up Kaako Kappo's game-winning tally with 24 seconds left. As Montreal attempted to clear the zone, Chytil kept the puck in the Canadiens' end, leading to the sequence that resulted in the winning tally. He's bounced around the lines this season but saw action on the top even-strength unit Saturday, getting 16:22 TOI, nearly three minutes more than his season average.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Avoids concussion
Rotowire
Chytil (upper body) did not suffer a concussion and will join the Rangers in Calgary, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
While Chytil won't be in action versus Vancouver on Tuesday, it seems he could still be in contention to play against the Flames on Thursday. Before suffering his upper-body injury, he was stuck in a six-game goal drought during which he notched two assists, 12 shots and two hits. If Chytil does play Thursday, it will likely mean Jonny Brodzinski is once again relegated to a spot in the press box.

Rotowire
Chytil (upper body) will not travel with the Rangers to Seattle ahead of Sunday's tilt, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
Chytil was injured Thursday when he collided with teammate K'Andre Miller in the middle frame of a 3-2 win over San Jose. Chytil could still join his teammates for their road trip through Western Canada, but that will depend on his evaluation. He has four goals and nine points in 15 games this season. Look for Jonny Brodzinski to center the fourth line in Sunday's contest.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Offers assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Chytil notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
Chytil snapped a three-game slump with the helper. He's up to nine points, 35 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 14 appearances in a third-line role this season. Chytil's scoring pace has slowed down amid a rough patch for the Rangers' offense, but he should still be a steady depth option at center for fantasy managers in need of points and shots.

Rotowire
Chytil scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

The center has five points over his last four games and is looking excellent on a line with Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko. Chytil is up to four goals, seven points, 24 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over nine outings this season, and with the Rangers rotating through three scoring lines heavily, ice time isn't too much of a concern.

Chytil earned the secondary helper on Will Cuylle's goal at 11:53 of the third period, which stood as the game-winner.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Adds helper in win
Rotowire
Chytil notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
Chytil has a goal, an assist, eight shots on net and a plus-5 rating over four contests this season. The 25-year-old center is firmly in a third-line role, slotting in behind Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck down the middle. Chytil's career high in points is 45 from the 2022-23 campaign, and that's a mark he could reach again if he stays healthy this year. For fantasy purposes, his usefulness is limited since he doesn't add much physicality and he plays a deep position.
