Chytil missed Game 4 with an undisclosed illness but his availability for Monday's morning skate suggests he could be back at some point in the series. Don't expect him to suit up in Game 5.

If Filip Chytil (illness) unable to go for Game 4, Jonny Brodzinski will make his 2023-24 playoff debut for the Rangers on Saturday vs. Carolina.

Chytil returned for the first time since November 2nd for Game 3 after missing months due to a concussion but will be out for Game 4 on Saturday after missing the morning skate due to illness.

Shesterkin extended his playoff win streak to seven games by stopping 45 of 47 shots (.957 SV%) in a Game 3 win over Carolina and will take the crease again as New York looks to sweep their second-round series on Saturday. The 28-year-old has a perfect 7-0-0 record, 2.01 GAA and .935 SV% in this year's playoffs. He will be looking to end Carolina's season in Raleigh on Saturday, who won 52 regular season games and had the third most points in the entire NHL.
