An update on the Filip Chytil injury, which just took a turn for the worse. He is expected to be out 4-6 weeks with an upper body injury.
Filip Chytil will be out 4 to 6 weeks due to an upper body injury suffered on Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Chytil was involved in an accidental collision with Evan Rodrigues in Sunday’s loss at Pittsburgh and was visibly shaken up and hurt afterwards. He did not return to the game. It was reported yesterday that he would not be in Buffalo.
Given the 4-6 week timeframe, Chytil won’t be back until March.
Time to see what Morgan Baron can do !
Terrible he was breaking out and the third line was out best line now we gotta see hands of stone Howden take his place. I rather see Barron get a shot.
If they’re playing Howden, over seeing what Morgan Barron can do (who has a LOT more upside), hopefully the increase in playing time equates to increasing his trade value…to be included in a future deal?
The collision looked to me like Chytil got hit in the upper chest area … I’m thinking a dislocated collarbone.
