Rookie forward Oscar Lindberg will be a healthy scratch for the second time this season when the Rangers host the Boston Bruins Monday night at Madison Square Garden. Chris Kreider, who sat out the previous two games with a cut on top of his hand, will not only take Lindberg's spot in the lineup, but on the team's third line alongside Kevin Hayes and Jesper Fast.
"He's a big strong guy who brings skill and a physical element into our lineup," Hayes said of Kreider following Monday's optional morning skate at MSG.
