Forty-eight hours after first round pick Lias Andersson suited up for his first exhibition game as a Ranger, fellow selection Filip Chytil will get his opportunity to wear a Rangers sweater in a game for the first time.
"I'm looking forward to playing there," the 18-year-old said. "I want to play my best game and play simple and try to score some goals or some assists. I want to win in my first game."
Like all European players, Chytil is adjusting to the smaller ice surface of North America. But while there is a learning curve, it's one he prefers over the larger rinks of his home country of the Czech Republic and other European leagues.
