Chris Kreider Sustains An Upper-Body Injury
2 years agoNew York Rangers winger Chris Kreider had to leave Tuesday's game against Minnesota with an upper-body injury. He exited in the third period, finishing scoreless in 16:52 of ice time. Follow forward Julien Gauthier also sustained an upper-body injury in the game, and the lack of options eventually led to the top line playing massive minutes, alongside second-line center Vincent Trocheck. Both players will be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Kreider would be a massive miss in many ways for the Rangers, as he is one of the biggest goal threats on the team and always brings the physicality into games. Entering Tuesday's action, the 31-year-old had scored three goals in four games, and Kreider is on 19 goals and 30 points for the whole campaign.
