Domino moves Rangers should make as Filip Chytil clock ticks

Regarding the Rangers, who have been as advertised through the season’s first two weeks:

1. The Blueshirts have a decision to make on Filip Chytil, and it is not whether the 19-year-old belongs in the middle or on the wing, but whether he belongs in the NHL at all.

And the decision must be reached quickly, for if No. 72 is sent to the AHL Wolf Pack before he plays 10 games, his entry-level contract would slide for the second straight year.

Chytil is now at seven, with upcoming matches at the Garden on Sunday (Calgary) and Tuesday (Florida) before a four-game western trip that starts in Chicago next Friday before incorporating the three California teams.
