The Rangers got some much-needed good news Monday morning.
After missing Game 4, Filip Chytil participated in the morning skate ahead of Game 5 against the Hurricanes.
Blake Wheeler was also a full-contact participant for the first time, having worn a red no-contact jersey prior.
Chytil, who played for the first time since November in Game 3, missed the next match with what the team termed “illness.”
Given the Czech’s injury history and that he is believed to have missed time this year due to recovery from a suspected concussion, that was a red flag.
