Kreider (lower body) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Jack Edwards of NESN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider will miss a fifth straight game with the injury, which allows Alexis Lafreniere to remain in a top-six role. Kreider's next chance to return is in Saturday's season finale against the Bruins.

Kreider (lower body) won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Capitals, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider continues to sit out with the lingering lower-body issue, as he's set to miss his fourth consecutive game. With the American sidelined, the team will deploy Mika Zibanejad, Pavel Buchnevich and Vitali Kravtsov on the first line in Wednesday's game. Kreider's next chance to suit up comes Thursday against Boston.

Kreider (lower body) will remain on the shelf against the Capitals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider will be unavailable for the third straight contest due to his lingering lower-body problem. In his stead, the Rangers are poised to utilize Artemi Panarin on the top line with Mike Zibanejad and Pavel Buchnevich. At this point, New York is a long shot to make the postseason, so the team may be extra cautious about inserting Kreider into the lineup without much to play for.

Krieder (lower body) isn't expected to be available for Saturday night's game versus the Islanders, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider will miss a second straight contest with his lower-body issue. The 30-year-old winger will be reevaluated ahead of Monday's game versus the Capitals.

Kreider is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider missed Thursday's loss to the Islanders and didn't practice Friday, so he should probably be considered questionable at best for Saturday's rematch with the Isles. Phil Di Giuseppe will likely continue to fill a spot in the Rangers' bottom six until Kreider's ready to return.

Kreider (maintenance) isn't on the ice for warmups and won't play in Thursday's game against the Islanders, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team classified the absence as maintenance, so there's no worry about Kreider's long-term health. The American will be a tough loss from the lineup, as he's racked up 30 points across 50 games this season. With Kreider sidelined, Phil Di Giuseppe will draw into the lineup for Thursday's game.

Krieder (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

It isn't clear what Kreider's dealing with, but his status for Thursday's contest likely won't be determined until the Rangers hit the ice for pregame warmups. It'd be a big loss for New York if Kreider's unable to go, as he's been one of the team's best scorers this season, having racked up 20 goals and 30 points through 50 contests.

Kreider scored a power-play goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 5-3 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider opened the scoring 6:31 into the game, redirecting a Mika Zibanejad shot on the doorstep for his 19th goal of the season. Kreider has goals in back-to-back contests after struggling through a nine-game drought.

Kreider had three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Devils but saw his goal drought reach nine games.

EDGE Analysis

The streaky winger has also gone five games without a point. Kreider was scorching hot earlier this season and still leads the Rangers with 17 goals, but just four of those have come in his last 22 games. While his first-unit role on the power play isn't in jeopardy due to Kreider's proficiency at screening the goalie and tipping pucks in front, New York could move him out of the top six at even strength if he continues to flounder offensively. You have to go back to March 13 to find Kreider's last even-strength goal.

Kreider scored two power-play goals, including the game-winner, in Monday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

After managing only one assist in his prior four games, Kreider lit the lamp in the second and third periods to help spark the Rangers' offense. On the season, the 29-year-old has 16 goals, but only 22 points, through 31 games, with half of his tallies coming on the power play.
