GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Filip Chytil was back on the left wing with second-line center Kevin Hayes and right wing Mats Zuccarello at practice Friday after coach David Quinn had dropped him to the fourth line in the third period of Wednesday’s 4-3 overtime loss to Washington.
“I think he might be pressing a little bit,’’ Quinn said of Chytil, who has no goals and two assists in seven games this season. “But he’s going to stay with those guys [Hayes and Zuccarello] and he’s going to continue to play . . . As long as he continues to put forth an effort, we’re going to let him play, because we think very highly of him, that he’s a big piece of our future.
