Mandatory Credit: Marc DesRosiers-Imagn Images New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil is close to a return after exams determined he did not sustain a concussion last week, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Chytil, 25, is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will reportedly rejoin the team ahead of Thursday's game in Calgary.
Chytil, who has a history of head injuries, collided with teammate K'Andre Miller during the second period of last Thursday's 3-2 victory against the San Jose Sharks. He returned for one shift later in the period before retreating to the locker room.
He did not travel with the team for Sunday's contest at Seattle, instead meeting with specialists who reportedly determined he did not sustain a concussion.
Through 15 games this season, Chytil has nine points (four goals, five assists) and a plus-11 rating centering the third line with Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko.
The concern for Chytil was compounded because he missed all but 10 games last season with an upper-body injury that was believed to be a concussion.
Drafted 21st overall in 2017, Chytil has recorded 153 points (68 goals, 85 assists) in 352 career games for New York.
