Coach Alain Vigneault deemed Kreider (hand) doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Stars, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider cut his hand in a fight Saturday, and skipped practice Monday as a result. It appears unlikely he'll be available Tuesday, and coach Vigneault is reportedly mulling over a call up from the team's AHL affiliate. With Kreider ruled out Tuesday, his next chance to return will now come Saturday against the Capitals.
