Chris Kreider (ankle) skated hard but says he can't say if he's encouraged yet, has to see how it feels tomorrow.
The Rangers need Kreider back to replace Ryan Callahan in the lineup. Kreider won't be in the lineup tonight.
Kreider said he was back on ice for a light skate alone this AM before practice. Will take it day to day
Kreider will likely take the place of Callahan in the Rangers lineup if he misses any time, but he has to be healthy first. Monitor his status going forward.

Kreider who has missed the Rangers last two game, missed practice again today. It's unclear when he will be back.
#NYR say Chris Kreider has bone bruise/bone chip in ankle. He is still with the club but day to day doing off ice work.

Line Change
Last night, he spent much of the second and third periods on the bench, with Taylor Pyatt taking his place on a line with Ryan Callahan and Derek Stepan, something John Tortorella didn't hold back on discussing.
Kreider haas been scratched tonight, and is in danger of being sent to the AHL. Probably not worth holding on to at this point, but Pyatt isn't much of an option either
Breathe easier #NYR fans @ChrisKreider not only on the ice, but out early!
