Kreider suffered an upper-body injury during Wednesday's game against the Capitals and was unable to return. An update on his status is expected Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kreider's next chance to take the ice comes Friday against the Red Wings, but another update on his status Thursday should provide more clarity on the winger's situation and should provide a potential timetable for return. Should he be unavailable, the Rangers could be forced to reach into the AHL ranks for some additional depth up front.
