This recent injury occurred during a game against the San Jose Sharks, where he collided with teammate K'Andre Miller, prompting his early exit.

Despite the injury, Chytil does not have a concussion and is expected to rejoin the Rangers on their road trip.

After that significant concussion, Chytil had returned to Czechia for a mental and physical reset before rejoining the team, but faced another setback that sidelined him for the rest of the season.

His absence was felt as he missed the game against Seattle on November 17, 2024, to consult a specialist, who confirmed he did not have a concussion, alleviating concerns given his history.

He played effectively on a line with Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko, helping the Rangers win 10 of their first 15 games, with their line outscoring opponents 11-0.

In Chytil's absence, the Rangers managed to secure a victory against Seattle and are concluding their Western Conference road trip with upcoming matches against Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton.

Filip Chytil, a forward for the New York Rangers and a 2017 first-round draft pick, has faced significant challenges with concussions, missing 72 out of 82 regular-season games last season due to a concussion sustained in November 2023.

Currently, Chytil is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will meet the team in Calgary, although it remains uncertain if he will play immediately.

Before his injury, Chytil was performing exceptionally well, contributing four goals and five assists for a total of nine points in the first 15 games of the season.

Chytil's injury history raises concerns, especially following his previous concussion that led to a lengthy recovery and a return only for the playoffs.
