Unfortunately, Filip Chytil’s been down this road many times before. But in of itself, it’s good news that the former New York Rangers center is close to playing in an NHL game once again,
Three months after he sustained what the Vancouver Canucks called an upper-body injury — but is suspected to be yet another concussion — Chytil is again a full participant at practice. The next big step is playing his first game since Oct. 19, though no one is saying exactly when that will be.
“I’m very happy [that] I’m very close to being back,” Chytil told reporters Sunday.
