Here are the latest news and possible return dates for Rangers players…

Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette confirmed that Filip Chytil will not play in Saturday’s game against the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
This will be the second consecutive game Chytil misses with what the team called an “upper-body injury.” Of course, Chytil has a history of concussions that derailed his 2023-24 season. He also missed seven games earlier this season when he had a collision in a November matchup with the San Jose Sharks.
In addition, Bo Grouix, who was brought up from the AHL for center depth, will not play in Saturday’s game.
