Kreider (upper body) will miss his second consecutive game when the Rangers play in Vancouver on Tuesday night.

EDGE Analysis

It's still unclear how Kreider sustained the injury, but either way he will miss his sixth game overall this season. After starting the season with seven points in his first four games, the 25-year-old winger has cooled off significantly and it could be due at least in part to his poor health -- he's notched four assists and no goals in six games since returning from the neck injury that hampered him at the end of October. Hopefully he can use this new absence to get healthy and return to form soon.
