Due to precautionary reasons, the Rangers will sit Filip Chytil out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final.
Filip Chytil will be a healthy scratch for the New York Rangers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Florida Panthers.
While Chytil is healthy, the Rangers are taking a cautious approach and managing the situation with him according to NHL.com’s Dan Rosen.
The 24-year-old forward spent the past two games on the first line alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.
Chytil suffered a concussion in November, which kept him out for the remainder of the regular season and carried into the playoffs.
He has a history of concussions, so the Rangers are just playing it safe with him to avoid a further catastrophe.
