Chytil will play for the first time since January 24th and will skate on the third line with Kevin Rooney and Julien Gauthier. Chill scored two goals with one assist while playing 12:56 ATOI in five games this season.

Chytil has been out since January 24th but skated on the third line in Monday's practice, suggesting that he'll be back Tuesday vs. Sabres. Chytil had a nice start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist in five games, so his return is crucial for the Rangers' bottom-6 to have success.

With Jacob de la Rose going on IR, Joshua will make his NHL debut Monday in Anaheim. Joshua was a fifth-round pick in 2014 and has picked up one goal and one assist in four AHL games with Utica this season.

This isn’t overly surprising, since Chytil just returned to practice on Thursday. Monitor his status heading into Sunday’s game vs. the Bruins.

Chytil has been out since January 24th due to an upper-body injury, but was back on the ice for Thursday’s practice, suggesting that he could be back soon. Don’t expect to see him Friday vs. the Bruins but maybe Sunday.

Friedman has ties to new Penguins' GM Ron Hextall, who drafted Friedman while he was the GM of the Flyers in 2014. The 25-year-old defenseman has appeared in just 11 NHL games since then, picking up one assist.
