Rangers forward Filip Chytil did not suffer a concussion in his collision with teammate K’Andre Miller last week, according to a report from New York Rangers insider Colin Stephenson.

Chytil may join the team for their road trip in Calgary on Thursday, but is not expected to play the game.

From Stephenson:

Read our previous report on Chytil’s injury below, published as the events unfolded last week.

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil, a man no stranger to the NHL’s concussion protocol, left tonight’s game against the San Jose Sharks after taking an elbow to the head from teammate K’Andre Miller.

Chytil made a move after a loose puck in the attacking zone and simply ran into his teammate as they both chased the play. The two teammates eventually collided, leaving Chytil lying on the ice in noticeable pain.

The thing is… Chytil returned to the ice just a few shifts later. However, he did not come out of the locker room for the third period.

Rangers have now confirmed that Chytil will not be in action tonight.

You have to feel for this man.
