Rust is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Rust was hurt in the second game of the season and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. This is another huge blow for the Penguins, who are already without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin upfront. Luckily for the Penguins, they only have seven games over the next three weeks, so Rust may not miss too many games.

Chytil (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Chytil has been out since January 24th but skated on the third line in Monday's practice, suggesting that he'll be back Tuesday vs. Sabres. Chytil had a nice start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist in five games, so his return is crucial for the Rangers' bottom-6 to have success.

Chytil will miss 4-to-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.

Chytil was hurt on a blindside hit from Evan Rodrigues in Sunday's game in Pittsburgh and will miss at least one month with an upper-body injury. A one-month absence means that Chytil will miss at least the next 14 games and that Brett Howden should get increased usage starting on Tuesday.

Chytil has returned to New York to be re-evaluated; will not play on Tuesday.

Chytil was forced to leave Saturday's game in Pittsburgh after being hit by Evan Rodrigues. This is a tough break for Chytil, who has had a terrific start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist in his last four games. With Chytil out on Tuesday, Brett Howden will likely take on a larger role vs. the Sabres.

Rust (lower-body) will be back in the Penguins lineup on Friday.

Rust has missed the last three games but will return to the lineup Friday vs. the Coyotes. Rust will be back on the top-line with Evgeni Malkin and Jake Guentzel but is not expected to see any power-play time. Rust enters play with nine goals and eight assists (17 points) in 14 games this season.

Chytil will make his season debut on Tuesday.

After playing a full season with the Rangers last year, Chytil started the 2019-20 campaign with Hartford (AHL), where he had nine points (3G / 6A) in nine games. Chytil will draw into the Rangers lineup on a line with Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich and could see some PP2 time. The 20-year-old had 23 points (11G / 12A) in 75 games with New York last year.
