Scores late in loss Kreider scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Kreider's tally with 35 seconds left in the third period brought the Rangers within a goal, but it ultimately didn't impact the result. This snapped a five-game goal drought for the winger, who has run streaky for much of the campaign. He's at 19 goals, four assists, 136 shots on net, 71 hits and a minus-7 rating through 56 appearances this season. Over half of his goals have come on special teams -- he's scored six power-play tallies and four shorthanded goals.

Tallies shortie in blowout loss Kreider scored a shorthanded goal and recorded four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Kreider found the back of the net midway through the second period and evened things up at 3-3 with his goal, but the Blue Jackets would pull away for good after scoring four unanswered goals the rest of the way. This was Kreider's 18th goal of the season, and it was his first point since returning from an upper-body injury that caused him to miss six games between Feb. 23 and March 5. Kreider has 18 goals and four assists across 50 games this season, so most of his value tends to comes from what he can do in front of the opposing goal.

IR designation lifted Kreider (upper body) was activated off injured injured reserve Saturday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Kreider last suited up Feb. 22 against the Sabres. His removal from IR paves the way for the winger to suit up Saturday in Ottawa. Kreider could replace Will Cuylle (illness) in the lineup Saturday, but if the latter is able to play, Brennan Othmann may be relegated to the press box. Kreider has accounted for 17 goals, 21 points and a minus-6 rating over 48 appearances in 2024-25.

Sitting out Friday Kreider (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kreider was one of three game-time decisions for the Rangers, but he did not take the ice for warmups. The 33-year-old will miss his third straight game, leaving the door open for Brennan Othmann or Arthur Kaliyev to fill in as a bottom-six forward. Kreider practiced Thursday and participated in Friday's morning skate, so he may be available for Sunday's game against the Predators.

Labeled game-time decision Kreider (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against Toronto, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Impact Kreider has missed the last two games due to an upper-body injury, but he was a full participant in Thursday's practice session, and he was also on the ice for Friday's optional morning skate. While the Rangers want to see how he responds in the hours leading up to puck drop, he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he's forced to miss another game, Brennan Othmann or Arthur Kaliyev could enter the lineup.

Impact Kreider participated in Tuesday's morning skate after being a late scratch for Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Penguins.

Late scratch Sunday Kreider (upper body) won't play against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Impact Kreider participated in the pregame warmups before being a late scratch. He has struggled this season, producing 17 goals, 21 points, 120 shots on net and 60 hits in 48 appearances. Due to Kreider's absence, Arthur Kaliyev will remain in the lineup after initially being set to be scratched, and Jimmy Vesey will play after being a healthy scratch in Saturday's 8-2 loss to Buffalo.

Tallies in blowout loss Kreider scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Kreider has had a good February, with two goals and two assists over six NHL games as well as one goal across two appearances for Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 33-year-old winger is on the third line for now, but he's occasionally been reunited with Mika Zibanejad, and the two's chemistry has returned a bit after they struggled earlier in the season. There's likely no salvaging Kreider's stat line this year -- he's at 17 goals, four assists, 120 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-6 rating, but he's arguably been a little unlucky to shoot 14.2 percent with a slight dip in shot volume, as well as far less success than usual in setting up teammates.

Chris Kreider skates way into Team USA 4 Nations finale lineup USA head coach Mike Sullivan had high praise for Kreider after he made his tournament debut against Sweden.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • NYPOST.COM

Gets goal in first 4 Nations game Kreider scored a goal in the USA's 2-1 loss to Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday.

Impact It was Kreider's first game of the tournament, and he scored just 35 seconds into the game. Kreider was Johnny-on-the-spot when Samuel Ersson kicked out a rebound off a Zach Werenski shot and straight onto the forward's tape. He wired it into a wide-open net. Kreider's NHL season has been forgettable -- he has just 20 points, including 16 goals, in 47 games -- after putting up a wicked 39 goals and 75 points in 82 games the season before. This goal could go a long way to boosting his confidence. A tournament win Thursday would be an even bigger boost.
