Derek Stepan was demoted to the fourth line at practice on Sunday. Brandon Dubinsky took his spot on a line with Ryan Callahan and Artem Anisimov during the session. Stepan has five shots and no points in two games during the Rangers' first-round series against Ottawa. There's still a chance that he could move up and play on the top line, with Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik, due to Carl Hagelin's suspension, but that honor could go to recently signed top prospect Chris Kreider should the team decide to give him his first crack at the NHL level in Game 3.
