GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Kevin Hayes chipped the puck ahead to Filip Chytil and the two-on-one unfolded with precision against Ottawa Monday night at the Garden: Chytil to Chris Kreider for the deciding third goal.
These three emerged as the Rangers’ most dangerous line after Chytil joined as the right wing six games ago.
But there’s one thing about that now.
“We’re actually not a line anymore,” Hayes said after practice Wednesday at the MSG Training Center.
Vladislav Namestnikov got the worst of a collision with Thomas Chabot late in the Rangers’ 4-2 win and is in concussion protocol.
