Wheeler has been out of the lineup since February 15th after taking a lower body injury which put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season. Having him returning to the lineup will give the Rangers more depth especially in their bottom 6 and having many years of experience especially in the playoffs will give them a boost.
Chytil did return to the playoffs in game three against the Carolina Hurricanes. Soon after, he did suffer an illness and potential other symptoms that kept him out of the remainder of the series with the Rangers prevailing.
