Chris Kreider (ankle) might return on Tuesday. "We'll find out. I'll talk to Rammer (trainer Jim Ramsay) after and we'll see where we go," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. Another possibility is that Kreider will be given the green light to play, but made a healthy scratch instead.

Chris Kreider (ankle) probably won't be able to play Tuesday based on Monday's practice. Kreider did take part in the Rangers' morning skate, but he switched to a no-contact jersey roughly 15 minutes into it. He has no points in three games this season.

Chris Kreider (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest. The question is where Kreider fits when he's healthy. He was on the verge of being returned to AHL Connecticut when he was sidelined.

Chris Kreider (ankle) isn't expected to return on Saturday. The good news is that Kreider has been skating regularly. After Saturday's contest, the Rangers will get two off days before playing against the Devils on Tuesday.

Chris Kreider (ankle) skated lightly on Wednesday. It was his first time on the ice since an MRI revealed last week that he had bone chips in his ankle. "It's better every day, I'm just taking it one day at a time," said Kreider. The injury has been effecting his play since Jan. 5 when he was playing for AHL Connecticut, but at the time it was believed to be just a bruise. It's not clear when he will be available to return.

Coach John Tortorella has "no idea" when rookie Chris Kreider (ankle) will be begin skating again. Kreider, who won't play Tuesday, injured his ankle while playing for the AHL's Hartford Whale. The Rangers discovered bone chips in the ankle following an MRI on Friday. This is not the start anyone expected for the highly regarded rookie winger following last season's surprising playoff debut. Given his injury and his limited ice time, we wouldn't blame you if you decided not to hold onto Kreider in most formats.

Chris Kreider is day-to-day with a bone chip in his ankle. Kreider didn't take part in the morning skate and won't play against the Leafs Saturday night. Even if he was healthy, he might have spent the game in the press box after being scratched Thursday.

Chris Kreider will be a healthy scratch on Thursday night versus Philadelphia. He played just 7:21 of ice time on Wednesday and ended up glued to the bench after some defensive lapses and for committing a hooking penalty. Coach John Tortorella wants the organization to discuss whether it was better for Kreider to play in the NHL or in the minors. "I trust the organization and I trust all the decisions they make and ultimately they'll make the right decision and have my best interests in mind," Kreider said.
