Kreider scored his 28th goal of the season in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran winger capped a three-on-two rush midway through the third period to tie the game at 2-2 and salvage a point in the standings for the Rangers. Kreider predictably hasn't been able to repeat his massive 52-goal campaign from a season ago, but he's still been productive for New York as he closes in on the 30-goal mark for the second time in his career. In 17 games since the All-Star break, the 31-year-old has racked up eight goals and 14 points.

Kreider scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the third period after the Rangers had already dug themselves a 5-1 hole. Kreider snapped a brief three-game point drought with the performance, and on the season he's up to 25 goals and 41 points through 56 games, the fourth time in his career he's reached the 25-goal plateau.

Kreider scored two goals -- one on the power play, the other shorthanded -- in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider opened the scoring at 16:08 of the first period. It was the 31-year-old's first point over four games since returning Jan. 19 from an upper-body injury. He has 20 goals and 31 points in 46 contests this season.

Kreider (upper body) is slated to play Thursday versus Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider missed the Rangers' previous three games because of the injury. He has 19 goals and 30 points in 42 contests in 2022-23. Kreider's return might result in Sammy Blais, who has played in the Rangers' last three games, serving as a healthy scratch.

Kreider (upper body) isn't expected to play Monday versus Columbus, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider missed the Rangers' last two contests. He has 19 goals and 30 points in 42 games this season. Kreider is "real close" to returning, Rangers coach Gerard Gallant told Mollie Walker of the New York Post, so maybe Kreider will return Thursday against Boston.

Kreider (upper body) will not play Sunday against Montreal, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Kreider will miss a second straight game while nursing an upper-body injury. The veteran winger is skating on his own but will likely need to get into a practice session before returning to action. The Rangers play in Columbus on Monday.

Kreider (upper body) is doubtful for Sunday's tilt versus Montreal, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider (upper body) will not play against the Stars on Thursday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider will be on the shelf for the first time this season after having appeared in all 42 contests to open the year. In those outings, the 31-year-old winger has racked up 19 goals and 11 helpers. While it seems unlikely the Massachusetts native will reach the 50-goal threshold as he did last season, he should still be capable of notching 40 goals, barring an extended stint on the shelf.
