Breaking: Rangers loan a player for World Juniors

The New York Rangers have announced that the team has loaned forward Filip Chytil to the Czech team for the upcoming World Juniors tournament in Buffalo, on Wednesday. 

There was a scare earlier last week when the 18-year-old suffered a cervical strain in a game against the Toronto Marlies. 

The 21st-overall selection in last June’s Entry Draft, who played in two games of the season for the Rangers after unexpectedly earning a lineup spot with a head-turning training camp, has recorded five goals and 12 points in 15 AHL games.
