The 25-year-old left the game in the second period following an awkward collision with teammate K’Andre Miller during a puck battle in the offensive zone. The incident occurred as Chytil and Miller chased a loose puck, miscommunicated, and collided with each other as replays showed Miller's elbow impacting on Chytil's head.

The internal battle between knowing they can play better and still picking up wins continued for the Rangers on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

An eventful second period saw the Blueshirts snap out of their slump but also lose a key player to a scary injury.
