Kreider missed part of Tuesday's loss against Washington due to a lower-body injury, Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks notes that Kreider was "a shell of himself" after returning to the game, but no injury has been announced by the team since then, so it seems likely that he'll play through this ailment. Despite some bouts of inconsistency, Kreider is still in the midst of his best NHL campaign, as he has already set a new career high in goals (23) and is just four points shy of his career-high 46 from two seasons ago.
