Kreider suffered a fractured foot in Philadelphia on Friday and will come out of the lineup for at least Sunday’s game. Head coach David Quinn did not have a timetable on Kreider’s absence prior to Sunday’s game but you have to anticipate they will be without him for at least a couple of weeks. Phil Di Giuseppe will move up to the top line to start Sunday’s game.

Kreider was listed as a game-time decision but head coach David Quinn told reporters that the recently signed winger will play vs. the Islanders. Kreider comes in with 14 points (8G / 6A) in his last 13 games.

The day after getting a seven-year contract extension, Kreider is questionable to play vs. the Islanders due to an illness. Head coach David Quinn is expected to speak around 5:30 PM ET and should update Kreider's status at that time.

Kreider was set to become a UFA on July 1, and was long expected to be traded ahead of today's deadline. The seven-year deal will pay Kreider through his age-36 season. Kreider has 24 goals and 21 assists in 60 games this season after posting a career-high 52 points a year ago.

There is no indication what Poehling is dealing with but a flu bug has been going through the Habs room, so it could be that. Consider Poehling a game-time decision and monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.


Kreider was a full participant in Tuesday's practice but head coach David Quinn called him a game-time decision for tonight's game vs. the Maple Leafs. The Rangers are expected to shake things up, so it's unknown where Kreider will slot in if he plays.


Kreider was hurt in Saturday's win in Detroit but was on the ice for Monday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Stars. Kreider has been absolutely red-hot, scoring at a point-per-game pace with 22 points (12G / 10A) in his last 22 games.

Kreider took a knee from teammate Mika Zibanejad mid-way through their win over the Red Wings on Saturday. The Rangers said it's not a concussion and was already feeling better after the game but Phil Di Giuseppe was recalled from Hartford (AHL) which suggests that he won't be available for Monday's game vs. the Stars.


Husso has spent the entire season with San Antonio (AHL), going 10-12-8 with a 2.93 GAA and .898 SV% in 30 games. Husso projects to be the future backup to Jordan Binnington, but Jake Allen has one year left on his deal, so Husso's time likely isn't until 2022.

Terry has been out since December 17th with a small fracture below his knee cap. Terry was originally expected to miss 10 weeks, so he made a speedy recovery. Terry absolutely lit it up during his conditioning stint, posting 10 points (3G / 7A) in seven games. The 22-year-old had eight points (3G / 5A) in 33 games with the Ducks before getting hurt.

Terry suffered a broken bone in his leg during the second period of Tuesday's game in Philadelphia and will miss at least two and a half months. With Terry and Derek Grand getting hurt, the Ducks have recalled Isac Lundestrom and Max Jones from San Diego (AHL).

Terry left the Ducks' loss in Philadelphia in the second period and did not return. Head coach Dallas Eakins did not have an update on Terry post-game, but it seems unlikely that he will be available in New Jersey. Sam Carrick is their only reserve forward, so expect him to replace Terry.

Granlund missed Monday's morning skate and is expected to miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. With Granlund out, Colton Sissons will skate on the Predators' second line with Kyle Turris and Matt Duchene.


Poehling replaced Matthew Peca in the lineup on Wednesday but heads back to Laval ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Red Wings. His reassignment could be a paper move with a few days off or a sign that Pecas will be back on Saturday.
