Filip Chytil scored twice in the Rangers’ 5-2 season-saving victory, which sent the series back to Raleigh, N.C., for Game 7.
It has been a bit strange, looking at the stats next to Filip Chytil’s name and seeing that the 22-year-old had just three points this postseason headed into Game 6 on Saturday night, with none since his goal in the opener of this second-round series against the Hurricanes.
What his postseason was missing, though, was the numbers — and the moments — to prove the eye test correct.Rangers’ 5-2 season-saving victoryFilip Chytil celebrates with teammates after scoring one of his two goals in the Rangers’ 5-2 Game 6 win over the Hurricanes.The Czech Republic native has drifted at times this season. Twenty-two points in 67 regular-season games was an underwhelming output.Now, though, there is little doubt.
After his team turned in a broken offensive performance in Game 5, Gallant reunited the Kid Line — Alexis Lafreniere, Kaapo Kakko and Chytil — for Game 6. It’s hard to imagine there will be a reason to break them up again.The first big chance of the game for Chytil came early in the second period with a two-on-one breakaway. He missed the net wide, failing to test Antti Raanta.
Asked about his night later on, Chytil harped on the early missed chance. Before that, though, he did allow himself to say: “Yeah, it feels good.”
