Of the two first round picks this year, it’s Lias Andersson that is expected to make a big push to make the team out of camp (especially since the Rangers didn’t fill the void in center). However, this isn’t good news for the Rangers or Chytil. The hope is that it’s nothing serious (he did play the next two games) but only time will tell.

We’ll keep you guys in the loop as more information becomes available.
