Mercogliano: New York Rangers coach Peter Laviolette on Filip Chytil‘s progress: “Any time a player is out there and being pushed in practice and drills… they’re probably getting better conditioned, a better feel for the puck, better feel for game-like situations… For me, it is noticeable that he looks good out there.”

We’ll likely never know for sure, but it’s been suggested to me that this could be the play where Demko was re-injured. A simple play from the corner where he pushes off the post, in the final minute. He stays down longer & looks to be labouring as the camera pans away. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/lCwNTVQUNp
