Filip Chytil is still being evaluated for an upper-body injury that he sustained during the New York Rangers game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night. Chytil was ruled out for the remainder of the night in the third period and Peter Laviolette did not provide any details into the specifics of the injury.

Troubling news emerges for the New York Rangers as a key forward unexpectedly exits the game with four minutes remaining in the second period. Key forward Filip Chytil left the Rangers' game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night with an unidentified upper-body injury and was unfortunately ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Filip Chytil scored twice, Jonny Brodzinski, Will Borgan, Reilly Smith and Vincent Trochek added goals, and the New York Rangers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2.

The Rangers dropped four games in a row, and Filip Chytil is trying his best to help the team. New York lost to the Florida Panthers Monday.

Vincent Trocheck gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead with just over seven minutes remaining when he tipped in a Mika Zibanejad shot from in front of the net — occupying the power-play spot that usually belongs to an injured Chris Kreider — for his second goal of the game to snap a brutal 1-for-31 stretch from the unit.

Jack Hughes and the New Jersey Devils dominated the first two meetings with the New York Rangers last month as part of their ascent in the Metropolitan Division.

The Rangers beat a team by more than two goals for the first time in almost two months in a 6-2 rout of the Blackhawks.
