Filip Chytil is on his way back to New York after roughly a three-week spell in his home country of Czechia recovering from a suspected concussion.

Kakko has been knocked down again and again and again, and each time he gets up. He is as earnest as they come and as true a Blue blood as there is in the room.

There have been more than eight weeks to ruminate over the plight of Filip Chytil, whose career appears to be in jeopardy in the aftermath of the 24-year-old sustaining what is believed to be his fourth concussion.

Tyler Pitlick has been around the NHL long enough, and in the same position with many other clubs before, to work through what was an unexpected start to his first season with the Rangers.

Artemi Panarin was a sorcerer with the puck in his second three-goal performance of the month Saturday night against the Lightning, which helped lift the Rangers to a 5-1 win to close out 2023.

Head coach Peter Laviolette confirmed The Posts report that Filip Chytil is to return home to Czechia as the next step in his recovery from a suspected concussion, noting that the Rangers are trying a different approach to usher the 24-year-old center along.

Filip Chytil is returning to Czechia for an indeterminate period in the next step of his recovery from the suspected concussion he sustained.

No one is going into the post-holiday portion of the schedule on a bigger high than the Rangers.

Kaapo Kakko has resumed skating less than a month after suffering a left leg injury in an awkward fall on Nov. 27 against the Sabres.
