Kreider was open at the net front and tapped in an Adam Fox pass late in the second period to give the Rangers a 4-3 lead. This was Kreider's second goal over the last three contests. He's up to 15 tallies through 38 appearances this season, but he's also added just two assists with 99 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-7 rating.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Kreider's first point in two games since he returned from missing four contests due to an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old winger has slotted back into a middle-six role as he looks to shake off a poor first half of the campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider is poised to link up with Filip Chytil (upper body) and Arthur Kaliyev in a third-line role Tuesday. In addition, the veteran Kreider should slide into a spot on one of the two power-play units. Prior to his four-game absence, the Massachusetts native was riding a three-game point streak during which he notched two goals, one assist and six shots. Benoit-Olivier Groulx was shipped down to AHL Hartford in a corresponding move.

Kreider (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on his IR designation, Kreider will need to miss at least the Rangers' next three contests due to his upper-body injury, though it could certainly be longer. With the available roster spot, the team is reportedly bringing up Matt Rempe from AHL Hartford, though he'll need to serve out one more game of his eight-game suspension. For now, Jonny Brodzinski looks poised to fill a top-six role in Kreider's absence, though the newly acquired Arthur Kaliyev could also be in the mix.

Kreider (upper body) is out Sunday against Chicago and considered day-to-day moving forward.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Kreider opened the scoring at 7:00 of the first period with an unassisted tally. He has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak, which isn't much, but it's his longest streak of the campaign. The winger is at 13 goals, two helpers, 92 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-8 rating over 34 appearances this season.

Kreider scored a power-play goal on three shots, added four hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Kreider's first in two games since he was scratched Dec. 23 versus the Devils. The 33-year-old got open in the slot and buried a pass from Artemi Panarin to tie the game at 5:19 of the third period, but the Rangers failed to pull ahead. Kreider's up to 12 goals, one assist, 89 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-9 rating over 32 appearances. He's not out of the woods yet with trade rumors swirling and the Rangers' season spiraling downward, so fantasy managers may want to consider other wingers to fill out their rosters.

Kreider will be a healthy scratch against New Jersey on Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider's only point in the last eight games was an empty-net goal against Dallas on Friday. The 33-year-old forward has 11 goals, 12 points, 46 hits and 80 shots on net in 30 games this season. Jonny Brodzinski will replace Kreider in Monday's lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider ended a six-game point drought with the empty-netter. The 33-year-old's name has come up in trade rumors, and the Rangers haven't hesitated to find ways to get business done this season, so that could be weighing on him a bit. Kreider is at 11 goals, one assist, 79 shots on net, 46 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 29 appearances. He remains in a top-six role with power-play time, but fantasy managers need more than he's been offering lately.

Kreider scored a power-play goal on five shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider scored in his second game back from an upper-body injury. The winger has returned to a top-six role and power-play time, but the Rangers' recent struggles on offense persist, which could limit his upside. He's at 10 goals with no assists through 21 outings this season, and he's added 59 shots on net, 26 hits and 14 PIM.
