Peter Laviolette confirmed that both Filip Chytil and Chris Kreider will return from their respective upper-body injuries on Saturday afternoon to take on the Montreal Canadiens. Chytil collided with K’Andre Miller in a game on Nov. 14 against the San Jose Sharks as he has been sidelined ever since. Chytil was originally being evaluated for a concussion, but it was quickly determined that he did not have a concussion and he was listed as day-to-day. Meanwhile, Kreider has missed the past three games with an upper-body injury that remained a mystery for a while.

Few games back it was lumbar,” Kreider said via Mollie Walker of The New York Post. [https://nypost.com/2024/11/27/sports/chris-kreider-opens-up-on-trade-talk-with-rangers-tension-rising/]
