Filip Chytil was not seen at Saturday's practice while he won't travel with the Rangers to start their four-game road trip.

The 25-year-old center didn't practice Saturday and won't be leaving with the team for the upcoming trip out west.

It’s possible that Chytil was fine and that the Rangers made the decision that with a 3-1 lead and the 25-year-old’s history of concussions, they would be cautious and not play him in the third period. If that’s the case, however, why would they have played him for one shift late in the second?
