SUNRISE, Fla. — Filip Chytil was relegated to the press box once again Tuesday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final, after the Czech forward played in three straight contests.

Word is that Chytil is healthy, but the team is looking to manage his workload after his six-plus-month layoff from game action with a suspected concussion.

Just as one Ranger who was injured long term had to be sidelined again, however, another made his triumphant return.

Blake Wheeler, who had taken warm-ups the previous two games but not line rushes, finally managed to crack the lineup after becoming an option in this round.

Tuesday night was the 37-year-old’s first game since suffering a gruesome leg injury on Feb. 15, which sidelined him for the rest of the regular season and through the first 13 games of the playoffs.

Without Chytil, Jack Roslovic slotted back onto the right wing of the first line with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.

The second line of Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafreniere remained intact, while Will Cuylle returned to the left wing of the third unit next to Alex Wennberg and Kaapo Kakko.

Wheeler skated on the left wing of the fourth line alongside Barclay Goodrow and Matt Rempe.

Paul Maurice made some line changes, both personnel and placement, that were brought upon by both the Panthers head coach’s decisions and health.

Pulling Ryan Lomberg and Nick Cousins off the fourth line, Maurice turned to his more experienced players in Kyle Okposo and Steven Lorentz to flank Kevin Stenlund.

“It’s not as drastic a change, maybe, as you think,” Maurice said of his new fourth line. “When we make changes like that, it may be one, it may be both. Some of its health, some of it is just we think they look different, right? There’s a different kind of offensive-zone thing that both guys do. It is not a tipping point and it’s not to put your team over the edge. The energy, that excitement, sometimes you put the new players in and they get pretty fired up and give you a good boost.”

Maurice also opted to stick with some of the line changes he made at the end of Game 3.

Carter Verhaeghe moved up to the left wing of the top unit with Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, while Evan Rodrigues got bumped to the second line alongside Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk.

As a result, ex-Ranger Vladimir Tarasenko — who had only one shot on goal through each of the first two contests before posting two in Game 3 — slotted onto the right wing of the third line.

The biggest surprise of the changes is the decision to take out Lomberg, who has made his presence felt in this series.

Not only did he have the hit on Jimmy Vesey that sidelined the Rangers’ fourth-liner on a week-to-week basis, but Lomberg has been a relentless pest in an average of 8:45 of ice time per game.

It’s possible that Lomberg is hurt, as Maurice alluded to.
