New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season, the team announced Sunday.

Chytil sustained a setback in his recovery from a concussion during Friday's morning skate and needed help off the ice from a pair of teammates, reports NHL.com's Dan Rosen.

The 24-year-old tallied six assists in 10 games this season prior to sustaining the ailment on Nov. 2 when he collided with Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesper Fast.

Chytil recorded a career-high 22 goals and 45 points in 2022-23. New York drafted him with the 21st overall pick in 2017.

The Rangers already have his $4,437,500 cap hit on long-term injured reserve, per CapFriendly.
