The Rangers returned to full strength in their 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday night at Ball Arena.

Both Chris Kreider and Filip Chytil are traveling with the New York Rangers on their upcoming road trip according to Arthur Staple of The Athletic. Kreider was placed on injured reserve with an apparent upper-body injury that has kept him out of the lineup for the past three games.

Details have emerged of the nixed trade that nearly sent Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers.Rangers center Filip Chytil, defenseman Ryan Lindgren, and some future assets - including a first-round pick - could've been headed to Vancouver had the trade gone through,

It’s been an up-and-down season for Filip Chytil. He’s played some of the best hockey of his career this season. However, Chytil can’t seem to escape the injury demons.

Rangers and Canucks got deep into trade talks to send center J.T. Miller back to New York in a deal that included center Filip Chytil and defenseman Ryan Lindgren before they fell apart Saturday.

Filip Chytil officially resumed skating on Thursday after suffering an upper-body injury during the New York Rangers’ Tuesday night game against the Dallas Stars. Chytil did not make an appearance in the third period as he was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

But coach Peter Laviolette wasn't ready or willing to confirm if either player would be in the lineup on Tuesday night.

Chytil recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over Utah.

The trade buzz about Vancouver Canucks center J.T. Miller continues, while one of the New Jersey Devils' top prospects might not be moved despite some recent comments.

According to The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, general manager Chris Drury remains "fully engaged" in trade discussions to bolster his team’s playoff push. Pagnotta's report came on the heels of Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reporting a failed trade for Miller on Saturday.

The Rangers are still in the mix on Miller, with a report from Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects saying the two sides are back at the table after a near deal fell apart earlier this week. The latest offer of a conditional first-rounder, Filip Chytil and Ryan Lindgren was rumored but supposedly declined.

J.T. Miller's departure from the Canucks feels more like a when than an if, and the market is sure to be robust. Ryan Dixon examines some of the potential landing spots for the difference-maker.
