Prospect injury update: Chytil out at least 4 weeks (Updated)

Anthony Scultore Updated: Sep 5, 2017

Rangers 1st round pick and highly touted prospect, Filip Chytil will miss the next 4 weeks with an injury.

Filip Chytil je zraněný a mimo bude minimálně čtyři týdny. Potvrdil to GM Zlína Martin Hosták. To nevypadá, že by si letos zahrál NHL.

The tweet translation reads:

Filip Chytil is (injured) and out for at least four weeks. This was confirmed by GM Zlína Martin Hosták. It does not seem like (he will make) this year’s NHL.

It should be noted that the 18 year old was a long shot to begin with. Still, it would have been nice to see him at the Traverse City Tournament and possibly training camp.

However, per Larry Brooks:

Update on Chytil: Groin strain, not serious. Not expected to play at Traverse City but may take part in NYR camp.
