Mika Zibanejad, out for close to a month with what was an upper body injury but definitely in no way shape or form a concussion, returned to practice today and was immediately inserted into his 1C role.
Practice lines (without Chytil) look like this:
Kreider-Mika-Buch
Panarin-Strome-Fast
Lemieux-Howden-Kakko
Haley-Boo-Smith#NYR

The lines were changed up, as expected, but there weren’t many changes here. KZB was reunited, and Ryan Strome remained attached to Arteim Panarin’s hip.
I’m guessing Filip Chytil is getting moved to wing on the second line, and Jesper Fast will replace Micheal Haley on the fourth line. Greg McKegg remains out.
Update: DQ just said that the centers will be Mika, Strome, Chytil, and Howden, and the order has not been decided. So there goes my theory.
