Chris Kreider - NHL News & Rumors

Sustains apparent leg injury Kreider sustained an apparent left leg injury in Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact There was no update on Kreider's status after the game, but the incident didn't look good. Kreider left the game with no weight on his left leg, which could lead to a longer absence. The Canadiens host the Avalanche on Saturday, and the team may have an update on him prior to that contest.

Warming trend continues Kreider scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 victory over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Keider's second-period goal ended up as the winner. He intercepted an errant cross-ice pass by Leafs rookie Gavin McKenna and finished a breakaway with a wrister past Sergei Bobrovsky's right pad. Kreider's overall stat line (three goals, six assists; 20 shots) looks tepid at best. But he has five points (two goals, three assists) and 10 shots in his last five games. There's increasing warmth in his game.

Two helpers in Tuesday's loss Kreider pocketed two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The long-time Ranger has had a strong start to his first season with Montreal, collecting a goal and four points in three games while dishing seven hits. Kreider is skating alongside Nick Suzuki at even strength and manning the top power-play unit, a role that will give the 35-year-old every chance to reach the 20-goal plateau for a ninth straight season.

Posts first two points with Habs Kreider tallied a goal, recorded an assist and dished out four hits in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Impact Kreider picked up his first two points in his new home Saturday, as he was a key part of the Canadiens' comeback effort in the third period. He first dished the lone assist on Cole Caufield's goal before he found the back of the net himself with just over a minute of regulation remaining. The 35-year-old Kreider is positioned well to play a big role for the Habs in the team's top six, where he'll often be paired with Caufield and Nick Suzuki. Kreider holds solid fantasy value in most league formats to begin the new season after he posted 22 goals and 50 points in 75 regular-season outings in the 2025-26 campaign.
