New York Rangers: Filip Chytil to move to wing, Pavel Buchnevich scratched vs. Avalanche (Report)

Filip Chytil is going to see more playing time with the New York Rangers, however, it will be on the wing.

#NYR mixing it up again in practice, looks like Pavel Buchnevich will be a healthy scratch. Lines looked like:

Chytil-Hayes-Zuccarello
Kreider-Zibanejad-Fast
Vesey-Howden-Namestnikov
McLeod-Spooner-Lettieri

Following the Blueshirts’ 2-1 loss to the Oilers Saturday, head coach David Quinn alluded to the idea of giving Chytil more ice time. The only problem is that Brett Howden has locked down the third line center position.
