Filip Chytil made a notable return to the New York Rangers lineup for Game 3 of the second round against the Carolina Hurricanes after being sidelined since November 2 due to a concussion. His comeback, initially unexpected as he was once ruled out for the season, marks his first appearance in over six months. Chytil was activated from the long-term injury reserve and replaced Matt Rempe in the lineup. During the game, the Rangers incurred a penalty for too many men on the ice, but maintained a perfect penalty kill record, now 11-for-11 in the series.
They kill it. Now 11-for-11 in this series. https://t.co/XTdbPwy76m
A too-many-men penalty two minutes into the game is a real dumb way for the Rangers to give the Canes a chance to get their power play going. Come on!
The #NYR take the first penalty of the game, too many men on the ice. It happened as Chytil was getting off on a line change. Rangers are 10-for-10 on the PK in this series.
Filip Chytil went through his first shift. Took a hit and looked fine. But now the Rangers are on the PK after a too many men call.
Carolina is getting the first power play at 2:00 of the first period. The Rangers had too many men on the ice.
Meanwhile, #NYR take an early penalty for too many men on the ice. It's on Cuylle. Canes to the PP.
Chytil takes a hit from Martinook on his first shift and throws a hit of his own on Skjei and seemed to come away from both fine. In a weird way, that had to feel good. #NYR
You hold your breath, of course, but Chytil just hit Skjei, and is OK.

Chytil has taken the ice for the #NYR. What a cool moment for him. He previous called these the hardest months of his life and thought his season was done, now he's about to play in a playoff game. Lots of nerves, too, I'm sure. It's been over six months... Wild.
Shesterkin and Chytil lead the Rangers onto the ice.
