Chris Kreider News

Kreider has been out with a blood clot since December 27th but he was able to skate before Wednesday’s morning skate. Kreider remains without a timetable for his return, but this is a positive step in his return.

Kreider is already out with a blood clot in his arm and will undergo surgery to have a rib resected and will remain out for an extended period of time.

Kreider reportedly left the first period because his arm felt weird and he was sent to the hospital where they discovered he has a blood clot in his arm. Kreider will be sidelined for an extended period of time. Players with similar blood clots have missed about 6-8 weeks.

Kreider did not return after the first period of Wednesday’s shootout win over the Capitals after sustaining an upper-body injury. Head coach Alain Vigneault said that they will have an update on Kreider on Thursday, so consider him questionable for Friday’s game in Detroit.

Kreider will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Saturday in Calgary. With Kreider out, Michael Grabner will skate in the Rangers’ top-6.

Kreider has missed the last four games with a neck strain, but returns to the lineup tonight vs. the Blues. Kreider had a good start to the year, picking up seven points (3G / 4A) in five games. Kreider will be back on a line with Mika Zibanejad at centre and Mats Zuccarello will be on the right wing. Kreider is averaging 3:07 on the power-play and is second among Rangers’ forwards with 13:52 at even strength.

Kreider missed the last four games with a neck strain, but was a full-participant in Monday’s practice and should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Kreider had a great start to the season, picking up three goals and four assists (seven points) in five games.

Kreider will miss his fourth consecutive game with a neck strain, but he could be back on Tuesday. It is good news that his injury is not going to keep him out much longer, but the Rangers will take on the Lightning without Kreider.

Kreider has missed the last two games and will miss both games this weekend with a neck strain. Kreider’s injury isn’t believed to be serious, so he could be back in the lineup early next week—maybe Tuesday vs. the Blues.

Kreider is dealing with a neck strain and will miss his second straight game on Wednesday. Monitor his status leading up to Friday’s game vs. the Hurricanes.

Kreider missed Tuesday’s practice and is not expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday. If Kreider doesn’t play, expect J.T. Miller to remain in the Rangers’ top-6. Monitor Kreider’s status during the morning skate, just to be sure he is not available.

Kreider is day-to-day with a neck strain which will keep him out of the lineup vs. the Coyotes. Thankfully for the Rangers, Oscar Lindberg is set to return and take Kreider’s spot.

Kreider, 25, posted a career-high 46 points (21G / 25A) in 2014-15 and followed it up with a nearly identical season in 2016-16, posting 21 goals and 22 assists (43 points) in 79 games. Kreider will once again skate in the Rangers’ top-6 this season, with either Derek Stepan and Mika Zibanejad in the middle. Kreider could be in for a breakout season, which includes his first 25-goal, 50-point season.

Kreider was listed as questionable for Friday’s game and was clearly not ready to go. He is listed as day-to-day and could be back in the lineup on Sunday.

Kreider is questionable for Friday’s game after missing Thursday’s practice with neck spasms. Monitor his status during their morning skate.

Kreider has missed the last two games with a laceration on his hand, but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Bruins. Kreider will replace Oscar Lindberg and skate on the third line. He has 18 points (6G / 12A) in 39 games this season.

Kreider was listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game but he has officially been ruled out. With Kreider out, Jayson Megna has been recalled and is expected to make his Rangers debut tonight. Rangers’ head coach Alain Vigneault is hopeful that Kreider will be back in the lineup on Saturday.

Kreider suffered a laceration on his hand in Saturday's loss in Florida and it looks like it will force him to miss Tuesday's game. Kreider missed Monday's practice, but shouldn't be considered anything more than day-to-day.
