Chris Kreider Suffers Mysterious Injury, Ruled Out Against Penguins

Chris Kreider will not play for the New York Rangers against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday afternoon as he’s been ruled out with an upper-body injury. 

It’s unclear what specific injury Kreider sustained, but he was seen in pain toward the end of the Rangers’ 8-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. 

He’s been listed as day-to-day. Kreider skated with the rest of the team for warmups, but clearly wasn’t healthy enough to play. 

The 33-year-old forward has recorded 17 goals, 4 assists and 21 points in 48 games while averaging 17:14 minutes.
