Kreider has 19 points in 42 games in the AHL this season. He had two points in 11 games with the Rangers earlier in the season.

With Kreider going back to the AHL this basically guarantees Rick Nash will be suiting up tonight.

No word on if Kreider will go if Nash can play or if he will suit up anyways. It's unlikely that Kreider will find himself at the forefront of the Rangers' offense on Sunday.

Kreider has 1 G, 1 A and +2 in 7 games this season.

Mashinter who was just called up, was sent down right away. No official word on whether or not Kreider will play tonight but all signs are pointing to him being in the lineup. Monitor his status before game-time.

Kreider was originally considered day-to-day but has not played since January 23. Kreider could still see top-6 minutes when he returns but when that will be is still uncertain.

Kreider is getting closer to a return but still isn't ready.

The Rangers need Kreider back to replace Ryan Callahan in the lineup. Kreider won't be in the lineup tonight.

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.
