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 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.

Kreider missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Penguins, but will be back in the lineup tomorrow vs. Detroit. However, J.T Miller played well on the second line on Tuesday, so Kreider will return on the fourth line, which limits his fantasy value until he gets back into the top-6.

Kreider is experiencing neck spasms that could keep him out of tonight’s game vs. the Penguins. He reportedly took a tough spill in Sunday’s practice after a collision with a teammate. He likely won’t play tonight, which means Tanner Glass will get back into the lineup.

Kreider missed Saturday’s game due to the death of his grandfather but will play tonight vs. the Lightning. Kreider will skate with Derek Stepan and Martin St. Louis on the Rangers’ second line. He has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 22 games this season. Anthony Duclair will likely take a seat with Kreider back in.

With John Tortorella out, Kreider, 23 got a real shot to make an impact last season. The speedy winger registered 17 goals and 20 assists (37 points) and a plus-14 rating in 66 games in his first full NHL season. He will likely play on the top line with Derek Stepan and Rick Nash again this season, which makes him a 25-goal candidate this season.

Kreider had not played since March 24 because of a broken hand. He was a minus-1 with one shot in 15:24 TOI (2:32 PP TOI).

Head coach Alain Vigneault said the Kreider is day-to-day. It doesn't sound like he will return tonight in a crucial game for the Rangers. Kreider has not played since March 24th because of a broken hand.

Kreider has been skating recently, but appeared to have his best day this morning. His shots were harder and his stick handling was better but he remains a ways away from returning to the Rangers' lineup.

Kreider is skating with a brace, but no glove on his surgically repaired left hand this morning. Kreider will miss his seventh consecutive game tonight and remains without a timetable for his return.

No surprise, that the original TSN report ends up being spot on. The original details from the Rangers were very vague, but now that Kreider has officially had the surgery it is safe to assume that he will miss the rest of the regular season and likely part of the playoffs.
