It’s possible that Chytil was fine, and the Rangers made the decision that with a 3-1 lead at the time and the 25-year-old’s history of concussions, they would be cautious and not play him in the third period. If that’s the case, though, then why would they have played him for one shift late in the second?

The 25-year-old left the game in the second period following an awkward collision with teammate K’Andre Miller during a puck battle in the offensive zone. The incident occurred as Chytil and Miller chased a loose puck, miscommunicated, and collided with each other as replays showed Miller's elbow impacting on Chytil's head.

Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor each scored twice, Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves, and the Winnipeg Jets won their seventh straight, 6-3 over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

Jets fans in New York had reason to celebrate on Tuesday night. No, not fans of the city’s beleaguered NFL team. Winnipeg Jets fans. Their team beat the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden to maintain one of the greatest season-opening hot streaks in NHL history.
