EDGE Analysis

Kreider returned to action after missing three games due to an upper-body injury. While he didn't get credit on the scoresheet, the forward was indirectly involved in two of the Rangers' three power-play goals by screening Montreal goalie Sam Montembeault. Kreider returned to the third line and played 22 shifts for 18:22 TOI, about one minute more than his season average.

Kreider (upper body) will be back in the lineup Saturday versus Montreal, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider has nine goals and no assists over 19 appearances in 2024-25. He also missed Monday's 5-2 loss to St. Louis because of the injury.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider appeared in the Rangers' first 19 games of the season and logged nine goals and 24 hits while averaging 17:22 of ice time. He was on the ice for 16:04 during Saturday's loss to Edmonton and is apparently dealing with an upper-body injury afterward. He'll be out of the lineup for the first time this year during Monday's matchup, while Matt Rempe was recalled from AHL Hartford and could enter the lineup against St. Louis. Kreider's next chance to suit up will be Wednesday in Carolina.

Kreider scored the game-winning goal and fired four shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider ended a three-game slump at a great time, tallying midway through the third period. The winger doesn't have an assist yet, but he's racked up nine goals on 46 shots, a 19.6 shooting percentage, through 17 contests. He's added 23 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating while seeing steady top-six minutes and ice time in all situations. This was his fourth game-winning goal of the campaign.

Kreider scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

A redirection in front gave Kreider his third goal over the last five games. All of those tallies have come on special teams -- two on the power play and one shorthanded. The 33-year-old is up to eight goals through 13 outings this season, three of which have been game-winners. He's scored three times with the man advantage and twice while shorthanded as he continues to be effective in all situations. The winger has added 34 shots on net, 14 hits and 10 PIM in a top-six role.

Kreider registered a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider opened the scoring at the 3:44 mark of the first period. His 11 shorthanded markers since the start of the 2021-22 season lead the league over that span. Kreider has seven goals and no assists through 11 outings this campaign.

Kreider scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider ended a three-game point drought with his tally just 30 seconds into the second period. The winger has scored six times this season, with two of those goals coming on the power play. He's yet to log an assist, and he's added 25 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-2 rating across nine appearances. The Rangers' offense has been deep early on even with some struggles for the top line of Kreider, Mika Zibanejad and Reilly Smith. Head coach Peter Laviolette appears set to let his players work through those issues without resorting to dramatic lineup shuffling, so Kreider should have every opportunity to find more consistency.
